Summary

Rockstar Limits GTA

Rockstar announced GTA VI will launch as a single-player-only game, with no GTA Online integration.
The retail version includes only a download code, tying the license to the purchaser’s account and preventing resale of used copies.
Analysts note the $2 billion development budget and $130–$160 price point could make GTA VI a bellwether for the console-focused gaming market, while the story follows Lucia and Jason uncovering a statewide conspiracy in a reimagined Vice City.
