GTA 6 will gate certain story missions behind money requirements, meaning players need sufficient funds to progress. The game compensates for this by significantly expanding the robbery mechanics available throughout the experience.
This design choice creates stakes around financial management and opens up new ways to earn cash through heists and robberies. Understanding how these expanded theft systems work becomes crucial for keeping your bank account healthy enough to tackle story content.
For players counting down to launch, this confirms that money management will be a core part of progression, making robbery gameplay not just optional side content but a practical necessity for advancing the main narrative.
