GTA Online is F2P in every way apart from its bundling with a retail single-player game. It's a full-on live service offering with events and an economy built on in-game currency that can be purchased as IAPs.
Many speculate that GTA Online's success is the primary reason Rockstar hasn't focused on a new single-player GTA for most of a decade.
- gonehome 5y agoYeah, I'm glad they've announced GTA6 - I find the GTA online stuff boring/uninteresting. I was worried because it was such a cash cow and relatively easy/cheap to work on that we may never get another high quality story. Red Dead Redemption 2 was really great, I wonder what they'll do for GTA6.

- coolspot 5y agoPlot twist: there will be no affordable GPUs in the next 10 years. Paperclip maximizer goes brrrr
- dalmo3 5y agoAssuming the game will be out on PC within the next 10 years.
- addandsubtract 5y agoA Playstation / Xbox is pretty affordable.
- Reubachi 5y agoIt saddens me that this is what is now considered "f2p".
- endisneigh 5y agoI’m sorry but I disagree. It’s literally not F2P. Saying it’s F2P in every way other than having to purchase it is pretty silly, no?
