GTA 6 Reportedly Launching Without Microtransactions, While Ultimate Edition Adds Exclusive Content
Reports say Grand Theft Auto 6 will launch without microtransactions or generative AI, while the Ultimate Edition includes exclusive extras.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is reportedly set to launch without microtransactions or generative AI. Rockstar is said to have confirmed both points during a conversation with Kinda Funny Games.
When asked whether players would be able to spend real money in the game, Rockstar said GTA 6 contains no monetisation. Greg Miller was also told that no AI was used in the development of GTA 6.
Ultimate Edition includes exclusive extras
That does not mean every buyer will receive the same content. According to the reports, the Ultimate Edition includes cosmetic items, vehicles, weapons, and access to the Electric Fang tattoo shop and the Stock 305 clothing store, neither of which Standard Edition owners can access immediately.
Players who buy the Standard Edition will be able to purchase the Ultimate Edition upgrade separately at a later date. Its bonuses are spread throughout Jason and Lucia's story, becoming available chapter by chapter.
Grand Theft Auto 6 launches on 19 November 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
