JAKARTA - Rockstar Games, a well-known video game developer, is reportedly developing GTA VI (GTA 6), which is one of the games that video game fans have been waiting for the most. After various rumors circulating about GTA 6, finally there is some evidence that the game will be released soon.

In the video game industry, the game's predecessor, GTA V, is considered one of the most successful games of all time despite being a decade old with sales of over 175 million units worldwide. However, players were looking for something new and with the arrival of GTA 6, the future of the game studio depended on its upcoming release as the rumors continued to pile up.

Interestingly, there's a rumor that has fans divided - Rockstar games is considering joining the metaverse hype. While the accuracy of these rumors has yet to be confirmed, this new speculation has certainly brought Rockstar Games' ban on NFTs into question.

A Seeking Alpha Content contributor restarted rumors about Rockstar Games introducing NFT to GTA 6 on February 12, 2023. The author speculates that GTA 6 offers the perfect opportunity for game studios to capitalize on the metaverse's hype.

The publisher added to the rumors that Rockstar Games will adopt web3 components in future releases. The Seeking Alpha article revived the NFT discussion in the community since Rockstar Games issued a policy banning crypto assets last year.

While many of Crypto Twitter love the idea of ​​introducing web3 to GTA 6, the idea may be a hard sell to gamers. Some users pointed out that rumors of GTA 6 having NFTs could be fake in-game cryptocurrency trading similar to stock market trading in GTA 5.

Even though Rockstar Games had banned cryptocurrencies and NFTs in its previous flagship game, GTA V, the idea of ​​NFTs in the game might seem far-fetched. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the rumors as Rockstar Games' policy only prohibits "user-generated NFTs and crypto assets on GTA 5 online servers." The game studio policy does not mention any restrictions on officially licensed NFTs.

Rockstar Games is at the forefront of open-world gaming and continues to differentiate itself from the competition with other decade-old games. This line of blockbuster games offers players ample opportunities to engage in various activities through role-playing. Also, considering the hype surrounding this game, everyone expected GTA 6 from Rockstar Games to break records like GTA 5.

Adding NFTs to games has the potential to skyrocket web3 adoption. However, the game studio has yet to give an official statement regarding these rumors. Interestingly, its executives have previously shared an interest in NFT and web3, which could fuel some speculation. The presence or absence of NFTs, and games that add web3 components will no doubt be a huge step forward for both web3 and web2.
