Confirmed so far

How money works

Cash matters

You need money to move the story forward, and missions alone don't pay enough. You earn in the open world.

Famitsu preview (GTAVice)

Rob almost anything

Almost any business in Leonida can be robbed.

Bank it or lose it

Cash you carry can be lost if you're Wasted or Busted. Put it in an ATM: Jason and Lucia share one account.

Marked bills

Bank jobs can pay in marked bills that must go through a fence before you can spend them.

New York Times preview (GTAVice)

Sell stolen cars

A specialist fence paid about $21,000 and $10,000 for wanted cars in one preview. Damage lowers the price.

FAQ

Money questions

How do you make money fast in GTA 6?
We will rank the fastest methods from real player payouts on launch day. What Rockstar has shown so far: almost any business can be robbed, stolen cars can be sold (damage lowers the price), and money is needed to progress.
Is there a money cheat or glitch in GTA 6?
Not that anyone knows of. Nobody has the game yet. "Money glitch" videos and "money generators" right now are fake, and some steal accounts.
Can you earn real money from GTA 6?
No. In-game cash cannot be turned into real money. Sites that promise this are scams.
Does GTA 6 have a stock market?
Rockstar has not confirmed one yet. GTA 5 had a story-mode stock market, so we will check on day one.
Can you buy houses or businesses in GTA 6?
Not confirmed. So far only garages are known to be for sale (you start with room for 3 vehicles). Safehouses come with the story.
