What people are saying
Creators who saw the game at Rockstar North before the Extended Look reported that some story missions won't start until Jason and Lucia have saved up a certain amount of money. You would earn it through robberies and other crimes in the open world.
Who said it
Hands-on preview reports, summarised by Gfinity.
What we know for sure
Rockstar's footage shows free-roam robberies and jobs as ways to earn. It has not explained how money and story progress are linked.
Our take
Likely. Several outlets reported the same thing from the same preview sessions, and it fits a story about two people trying to get ahead. Exact amounts are unknown. We'll update this on November 19.
