  • Businesses: the Ultimate Edition adds in-world businesses that unlock as the story progresses.

  • Crime has a cost: a six-star wanted level and the Criminal Profile mean big jobs can bring big police attention.

Lessons from GTA V

In GTA V, the biggest single-player payouts came from heists and from the in-game stock market, especially around Lester’s assassination missions. We will check whether similar systems exist in the new game before we recommend anything.
