GTA 6 will not include microtransactions or generative AI in its core game, Rockstar executive Rob Nelson has told a podcast audience in a rare on-the-record comment about the blockbuster title expected to launch on current-gen consoles in 2025.

Rockstar Games has said almost nothing official about Grand Theft Auto VI since revealing its first trailer in December 2023.
