Adin Ross and Richard \u201cFaZe Banks\u201d Bengtson have revealed their intention to create a cryptocurrency-driven Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) server.<\/p>\n

The duo, both highly influential in the gaming and streaming communities, announced their plans during a livestream, highlighting their goal of integrating a custom digital token into the game\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n

Rockstar\u2019s Policies Could Pose Challenges<\/h2>\n

\u201cWhen GTA 6 drops, me and Ricky are going to make the biggest server together,\u201d Ross said <\/a>on Monday.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI promise you, it\u2019s going to be completely crypto. Everything pro-crypto about it. It\u2019s going to change the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Banks elaborated on the project, stating that the server\u2019s economy would be powered by \u201ca newly-made coin,\u201d while Ross added that they would invest significant funds into its development.<\/p>\n

Essentially, their vision centers on a blockchain-based in-game economy. However, Rockstar Games, the developer behind the Grand Theft Auto franchise, has historically opposed the use of cryptocurrency and NFTs<\/a> in its games.<\/p>\n

In 2022, the company published<\/a> an article that says it prohibits the integration of such assets in player-run servers for GTA Online and Red Dead Online.<\/p>\n

The policy led to the shutdown of several community-operated servers. Among those affected was The Trenches, a GTA Online server backed by rapper Lil Durk that featured NFTs. Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar\u2019s parent company, also took legal action against multiple servers.<\/p>\n

Speculation and Rumors<\/h2>\n

Despite the restrictions, speculation persists about whether Rockstar\u2019s position might change with the new GTA 6.\u00a0Some rumors going around in the community have suggested <\/a>that the upcoming game could introduce crypto-based rewards or payment options. However, there has been no official communication from the team on the matter.<\/p>\n

Further, Take-Two Interactive has previously shown interest in blockchain technology through its acquisition of Zynga in 2022. The company, known for its mobile gaming portfolio, has been involved in several NFT-based gaming projects.<\/p>\n

At the time of the deal, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick stated that the company had \u201cWeb3 opportunities\u201d in mind that could be pursued in collaboration with Zynga. Notably, this hasn\u2019t been officially linked to the Grand Theft Auto franchise.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Rockstar owner was part of a $40 million funding round<\/a> for Web3 gaming startup Horizon Blockchain back in 2022.<\/p>\n

With GTA 6 expected to launch later this year, its developer\u2019s policies will play a crucial role in determining the feasibility of Ross and Banks\u2019 crypto-driven server.<\/p>\n
