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

GamesRadar reports a preview claim that some GTA VI story missions may require Jason and Lucia to have enough money to proceed. Its source is creator TGG's account of a demonstration, relayed through social coverage; it also describes additional open-world robbery options and environmental factors that might affect those activities. The details are not equivalent to an independently tested, final-game progression rule.

The interesting design question is whether everyday activities and finances are more tightly connected to the main story than in earlier GTA titles. Players should distinguish a reported mission prerequisite from a permanent lockout: the account does not establish how much money is needed, which missions are affected, or whether noncriminal ways to earn it will always be available.
