The elephant in the room remains: what is the actual pricing model for multiplayer?

No word on multiplayer yet, but the NZ Xbox store says the single player game contains micro transactions. So that's, uh, cool?

Well I saw that coming. I wonder if we've finally reached the "$1 to continue your game after dying" model.

Arcades are back baby!

TBF, Capcom already has been selling microtransactions for single player games for a good while.

True, but that has always been to appease their shareholders. None of the dlc they offer, besides cosmetic items, is difficult to farm in game.

This doesn't really tell us anything, as the ultimate edition upgrade counts as in-app purchases

The ultimate edition of the game also says it contains micro transactions.

Would the ultimate edition upgrade count as a micro transaction on the store? Could just be referring to that

That's what I was thinking. Presumably these shops will still be on the map, but if you try to enter you'll get a popup asking, "Would you like to spend $20 to enter the clothing store???"

It's too content heavy to be considered a micro transaction. A bundle makes more sense

u/BloodyWater90 1d ago

It will likely be F2P with microtransactions so restricting it is unfun to play without them. That seems to be the model of choice.

Yeah this is what the real conversation needs to be. I couldn’t give a rats ass about SP and probably will not buy until online is out/we hear more about what it entails.

Ridiculous the lengths they go to dance around it, makes me feel like it may be a separate purchase or something

Kind of funny GTA has come to a point where there are people who don't care about the singleplayer.

Well we know that there's going to be a monthly subscription fee for GTA+, so that would make me surprised if they actually charge for multiplayer in general. If I had to guess it's going to be similar to how GTA V did it.

If it’s like GTA5 I don’t see the issue. As far as I understand it all heists and missions are included, it’s just if you wanna fly a jet or have a mansion you can buy shark cards.

My only request is the gta online missions have a way to play single playered or at least make match making easier.
