The gaming industry may soon see a new trend with the incorporation of cryptocurrency in gameplay. The much-awaited Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) could potentially be a pioneer in this shift, recent industry buzz suggests.
It was reported on Wednesday that the successor to the popular GTA 5 might feature the use of crypto, thereby creating a new market and providing players with more incentives.
Speculations are rife that the in-game cryptocurrency might be tagged $RSTAR. Players could earn this virtual currency by completing certain missions. The possibility of players having both cash and crypto in their gaming wallets is also being discussed. However, the game’s developer, Rockstar, is yet to confirm these speculations and whether a specific crypto wallet would be necessary.
In addition, there are rumors that GTA 6 could present a satirical take on digital assets, reflecting the game series’ history of incorporating humor. This aspect, too, is yet to be confirmed by Rockstar.
While the idea of integrating cryptocurrency in gameplay signals an innovative approach, the release date of GTA 6 remains a mystery. Speculations predict a teaser release from Rockstar in October, though this is unconfirmed.
