Rockstar has remained mum on news related to GTA 6 despite promising fans that the game is \u201cwell underway\u201d and even reportedly targeting a 2024 release. In the meantime, fans have been stuck traversing the world of San Andreas in GTA Online, and the game\u2019s microtransactions are helping CEO Strauss Zelnick earn over $70 million in 2023. Amid news that Zelnick and company president Karl Slatoff were raking in big bonuses due to microtransactions, fans began fearing that things will only get worse when GTA 6 is out. Grand Theft Auto players brace for upcoming GTA 6 microtransactions In a thread on X, YouTuber LegacyKillaHD remarked how GTA 6\u2019s microtransactions would be \u201chorrific\u201d after seeing news of the Take-Two bonuses. This sparked a conversation with many others joining in with their own thoughts about GTA VI and the issues they have with microtransactions as a concept. \u201cGTA VI\u2019s budget is rumored to be $2B. No f**kin way would that be happening if it weren\u2019t for microtransactions. 10+ years of shark cards is craaaazy,\u201d one said. \u201cWouldn\u2019t be surprised if they\u2019re in the story of GTA as well,\u201d another sighed. Some even warned that GTA 6 would be the final Rockstar title they purchase if the microtransaction problem continues in GTA Online. \u201cGTA 6 may be my last Rockstar game I ever play. If they do online as gross as they\u2019ve done GTA 5 online then they don\u2019t deserve my money,\u201d someone else snapped. GTA 6 may be my last Rockstar game I ever play. If they do online as gross as they&#8217;ve done GTA5 online then they don&#8217;t deserve my money. They can go on the list with Ubisoft if they don&#8217;t change tune. Plenty of other devs that aren&#8217;t scum of the industry that I can support \u2014 Luke (@lukmills) August 1, 2023 Of course, Rockstar has yet to reveal anything about GTA 6\u2019s new Online component, so for now, fans are just speculating, but if rumors of a 2024 release end up being true, we should hopefully expect an official reveal soon and tons of new details. In the meantime, players might have their hands full after leaks surfaced that a Red Dead Redemption remake is coming this year \u2013 something that likely won\u2019t feature any sort of microtransactions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GTA 6 fans fear \u201chorrific\u201d microtransactions coming as GTA Online makes millions Rockstar GamesGTA Online is earning a fortune for Take-Two executives through microtransactions and fans are worried that this trend will continue with the release of GTA 6.
