It’d be kind of amazing if GTA 6 was using this kind of tech to create its open world environment when it releases.
Sadly though, I expect it will need to have a free to play mode with micro transactions to support the ongoing investment into keeping the infrastructure up for delivering the open world imaging.

- vlunkr 6y agoConsidering GTA V has made literally billions of dollars I doubt they'll need any free to play mode.
- madeofpalk 6y ago“Making lots of money” does not seem to suppress companies from trying to make more money. See, Apple and App Store.
- WilTimSon 6y agoI think their point was that GTA 5 was not free-to-play and still made billions. It could be sold at full price up until 6 releases and then 6 could be sold at full price for years and people will still be interested.
- jon-wood 6y agoGTA 5 has an interesting revenue model, the game itself has to be bought, and you can play all the single player with just that. Once you get into multiplayer it’s much of a free to play model, with the usual choice of grinding through to acquire resources or just paying real money for in game money.
