What We Know So Far
Rockstar has not confirmed a playable stock market for GTA 6. This guide explains how the system worked in GTA V, since any return is likely to build on it, and it will be rewritten with tested strategies once the game is out.
How the Stock Market Worked in GTA V
GTA V had two exchanges. LCN reacted to events inside the single player story, while BAWSAQ was tied to the wider player community through Rockstar's online services. Prices moved after missions, after attacks on company assets and over time.
The most reliable profits came from the assassination missions given by Lester. Each one damaged a specific company and lifted its rival, so players who invested before the mission and sold at the peak could multiply their money several times over.
How to Prepare for GTA 6
- Hold on to large payouts until you understand which missions move prices.
- Keep a manual save before any mission that targets a company.
- Invest with every playable character if the game allows it.
- Sell at the peak. In GTA V prices dropped again within a few in-game days.
What to Watch For at Launch
The first thing to check is whether an in-game phone or website offers trading, and whether prices respond to story events. This page will list every company, its rival and the best buy and sell windows as soon as they are verified.
