GamesRadar reports that Rob Nelson reportedly answered no when asked about microtransactions and generative AI in GTA 6.

GamesRadar+ reported that Kinda Funny Gamecast hosts Andy Cortez and Greg Miller said they asked Rob Nelson, co-studio head at Rockstar North, whether GTA VI would include microtransactions and whether generative AI was used during development.

The article says Nelson reportedly answered “no” to both questions. This is a reported account of a conversation, not a directly verified written statement from Rockstar Games.

The report concerns the base single-player game. It does not establish what a future GTA Online component might do, and GamesRadar’s speculation about that possible mode is not treated as fact here.

Wasted Stars records the attributed answers with their limits: no microtransactions and no generative AI are reported for the base game, while the underlying podcast exchange remains a secondary source.
