What is $GUN and how does it work in video games?

• GUNZ is a layer 1 blockchain created by Gunzilla Games, designed specifically for AAA Web3 video games like Off The Grid (OTG), a cyberpunk battle royale.

• In OTG, each game object (weapons, skins, upgrades) is tokenized as an NFT, ensuring real ownership for the player and the ability to trade them on platforms like OpenSea.

• Players use $GUN to acquire rare items and earn rewards for playing, enabling play-to-earn models and player-controlled economies.

Could GTA 6 implement $GUN as a reward or currency?

If GTA 6 were to incorporate real blockchain tokens as an incentive tool, GUN could be a viable option if there is a partnership with Gunzilla or another Web3 integration. The use of a specialized blockchain for AAA games like Gunz would allow for seamless integrations without rewriting the entire infrastructure from scratch.

Rockstar Games already prohibits the use of cryptocurrencies, NFTs, or tokens on private servers (including FiveM), and has shut down projects that implement them. Currently, there is no official confirmation that GTA 6 will allow the integration of real tokens: all mentions of cryptos come from speculation or aspirations of fans and streamers. The company has a successful revenue model (GTA Online generated $500M in 2022 without blockchain), and already fully controls its internal monetization through traditional microtransactions.

Some rumors suggest that GTA 6 could include a fictional cryptocurrency (for example, $RSTAR) as part of the game's story or simulated economy, but without backing in real blockchain.

• It is believed that if there is a crypto component in the story, it will serve as a narrative element (with no real value outside the game) rather than a utility token similar to GTA V with its fictional stock market.
