How does money work in GTA 6?
GTA 6 keeps money in three places. A BuckMe bank balance is safe. Cash that Jason or Lucia carry can be lost if they die, so it has to be paid in at an ATM. Stolen goods ride in a duffel bag and are worth nothing until a fence buys them. TGG saw all three on screen at Rockstar North, and Rob Nelson walked TroisCouleurs through the cash risk.

At 01:42-02:13: "In GTA 6, you will have three different types of money. At the top right here, you've got this purple logo, that's for Buck Me, that's your bank account. You've got cash as well below that. And then, if you have a duffel bag on you, you'll also have a duffel bag loot value below your cash. The money in your bank account, that's safe. That's secure. But your cash, that needs to be taken to an ATM. If you die, you can lose the money on you. As for the duffel bag money that you have on you, that needs to be taken to a fence."

"The cash is actually also vulnerable. You have a bank account and cash now. And so if I get wasted, and I don't deposit it, it's gone. Yes, so I'll find an ATM."
