How to make money in GTA 6: what we know before launch
Short answer: Before launch, the confirmed ways to earn in GTA 6 are robberies (from small stores up to bank heists), selling stolen goods and side activities. A stock market like GTA 5’s and buying businesses have not been announced. We’ll turn this into a full money guide with real numbers after launch on 19 November.

Is there a stock market like GTA 5?
Not confirmed. In GTA 5, Lester’s assassination missions moved the in-game stock market, and many players learned too late to invest before doing them. Rockstar hasn’t shown a stock market in GTA 6. If it exists, we’ll add the “invest before this mission” tips here on launch day. Unconfirmed
What you’ll spend money on
Guns at Ammu-Nation, clothes, haircuts and tattoos, car repairs and fuel, healing items and gym memberships. See customization and weapons.
Avoid money scams
There are no legit “money generators”, “money glitch apps” or Shark Card deals for GTA 6 story mode. Anyone asking for your account login to “add money” is a scammer. See GTA 6 scams and microtransactions.
