Grand Theft Auto 6 Crypto Speculation Resurfaces

Grand Theft Auto 6’s highly anticipated release has once again generated chatter that suggests the game may use blockchain technology or contain a cryptocurrency system with real-world value. These rumors, which first surfaced in 2021 and then reappeared last year, have acquired momentum once more. It’s crucial to remember that there isn’t much evidence to back up these statements right now.

A cryptocurrency Twitter account was named as the source of these rumors in a Forbes India article. However, neither Rockstar Games, the business behind Grand Theft Auto, nor its parent organization Take-Two Interactive have issued any formal denials or confirmations of these claims.

A different viewpoint has been presented by certain industry observers, such as those at the video game publication Game Rant. They propose that Grand Theft Auto 6 might adopt a satirical approach by making light of bitcoin and the metaverse rather than including a real cryptocurrency.

Online articles spreading the rumors have cited a current viral tweet from a well-known game content provider as proof. It is crucial to note that this tweet is entirely hypothetical and lacks any solid supporting evidence.

Twitter users have appended a “Community Note” to the post in reaction to the spreading rumors, making it clear that neither Rockstar Games nor anybody connected to Grand Theft Auto 6 have issued any official denials of these rumors.

It’s important to note that Rockstar Games had a different stance in November compared to Take-Two Interactive, which has dabbled in cryptocurrencies by having its Zynga unit create Web3 games. NFTs (non-fungible tokens) and cryptocurrencies are no longer permitted on Grand Theft Auto V fan servers, according to the corporation.

It is crucial to realize that the current dearth of hard data calls into question the veracity of these claims, even though cryptocurrency enthusiasts and opponents of Web3 technology may eagerly anticipate the launch of a real Grand Theft Auto cryptocurrency.
