One of the most anticipated games, Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), could be the first game to integrate cryptocurrency. Expected to release in 2025 on PlayStation and Xbox consoles, the game is already attracting the attention of not only gamers, but also digital asset enthusiasts.
Recently it became known that in GTA 6, players will be rewarded with bitcoins instead of cash for completing some missions. It is also planned to return the function of trading on the stock market, adding the ability to operate with various cryptocurrencies. The owner of the news portal for gamers Insider Gaming, Tom Henderson, noted: “If developers correctly integrate digital assets into GTA 6, this will be a significant event for the crypto industry.”
Details from insiders
An anonymous user of the social network X, banned in Russia, reported that three digital assets will appear in GTA 6: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Tether (USDT). These cryptocurrencies can be used as in-game means of payment. The information was allegedly provided to him by a relative working at the Rockstar Games studio. This message caused lively discussions among fans and crypto enthusiasts.
The developers of GTA 6 from Rockstar Games have not yet confirmed or denied rumors about the possible integration of cryptocurrencies. For the first time, speculation about the introduction of bitcoins in Grand Theft Auto arose back in 2021, but they turned out to be false. Therefore, many GTA fans were skeptical about reports of adding functionality related to digital assets.
Prospects and impact on the crypto industry
If the rumors are confirmed and cryptocurrencies are indeed integrated into GTA 6, this will become an important precedent for the entire gaming and crypto industry. Such integration could bring cryptocurrencies to the attention of millions of gamers and increase their adoption and use. This could also be a powerful incentive for other game developers to incorporate digital assets into their projects.
The integration of cryptocurrency into Grand Theft Auto VI could open up new horizons for the gaming industry and cryptocurrencies. All that remains is to wait for official confirmation from Rockstar Games and monitor developments. Either way, the prospect of introducing digital assets into one of the world's most popular gaming franchises promises to be exciting and innovative.
