GTA 6 will lock you out of story missions if you're too broke, so it's good to know the robbery mechanics have been massively expanded

GTA 6 will prevent players from starting certain story missions if they lack sufficient funds, making in-game income generation essential to progression. The robbery systems have been significantly expanded to support this, offering more ways to earn money through criminal activities. Alternative money-making options like racing will also be available for players who prefer less violent approaches.

• Story missions will be gated behind a cash requirement, blocking progression for broke players
• Robbery mechanics have been massively expanded from previous entries
• Racing serves as a non-violent alternative income source for players who want it
• The economy appears deeply integrated into mission structure rather than being optional
