There have been countless rumors surrounding Grand Theft Auto 6, with fans desperately trying to dig out any relevant details.

I heard recently that in GTA 6, some missions will reward you in bitcoin instead of cash for completing some missions.
Henderson also says that the game will add a broker for various cryptocurrencies, which he believes would be "huge" for the industry.
The insider adds that the in-game cryptocurrency is unlikely to be called “Bitcoin” per se:
While Henderson’s words have to be taken with a pinch of salt, it should be noted that he’s well-known within the gaming community because of his credible track record of leaking information about Battlefield and Call of Duty.Just so there's even less confusion - I'm not joking. This is what I heard from a someone that I trust and it will likely not be called "Bitcoin" per say - But it will be a cryptocurrnecy.
