GTA 6 Ultimate Edition paywalls in-game shops, sparking player backlash

Grand Theft Auto 6's $100 Ultimate Edition has drawn criticism for paywalling in-game shops that offer cosmetic customization options. These shops, including Rideout Customs for car styling and Sara’s Unisex Salon for character appearances, are reportedly exclusive to the Ultimate Edition. While Rockstar Games may intend these as delivery mechanisms for pre-announced Ultimate Edition items, players perceive this as locking core gameplay features behind a higher price point, sparking debate about the practice in open-world games.
