How much is the GTA 6 price?

GTA 6 no doubt carries the most hype in the gaming industry at this moment. The 3 multi-generational franchise continues to acquire the top spot amongst the most sought-after title even after the series crossing 25+ years mark. The GTA franchise played a massive role in building Rockstar Studios into the massive goliath that it stands today.

After 12 years of waiting, Rockstar is ready to roll out its highly anticipated sixth iteration of the ongoing franchise in GTA VI. The game might be the most famous title in the world, but despite that, it is not safe from ongoing criticism. Rumors have it that Rockstar is actively mulling to put a massive price tag on its new game that will shake up the market.

New leaks of the online store and early pre-order listing suggests the game might carry an exorbitant price tag that will make it a tough sell in the younger demographics. However, GTA is known to set new benchmark with each release and has always pushed the envelope of impossibility a bit further. Now looking at the new price range has the entire place buzzing with remarks.

Internet Debates Over GTA 6 Pricing

New rumors and leaks suggests GTA 6 might carry a mammoth pricing of $100. This isn't a number that community is used to shelling for any AAA title. In most instances companies maintain a novel pricing of $60 to sometimes $80. But rarely does the price ever goes beyond $100 mark. This new rumor has become a major talking with fans picking their sides.

Ardent fans of the franchise suggests the pricing is quite fair owing to the continues rise in development cost soaring beyond the $200 million mark. Not even movies of modern era carry such a budget to be put together, which might be an eye brow raising concern for studios.
Rumors have it that Rockstar might be looking to segregate online experience and solo player mode into two separate categories which will explain the heightened pricing. GTA franchise usually sells both experiences in a package, but owing to rising cost, this trend might change with GTA VI.

Expected Prices for Different Platforms

Normally this isn't the case when it comes to AAA games in the industry. Regardless of the platforms, game studios usually charge the same amount for their product on any given platform. It doesn't seem like GTA VI will be the title to break this model.

Although PC gamers often witness amazing discount and deals during sale and events, which doesn't extend to Console gamers. This remains the only dividing factor that segregates pricing model in both PC and console platforms.

Will This Become the New Standard for AAA Games?

2K studio's WWE 2K25 comes to mind when you think of $100 pricing, as it has been the usual case with the franchise. In case of GTA it will be the first time when the game will steer clear from the $60 number. GTA games are usually long-lasting experiences that brings gamers back for more all the time.

Its multiplayer experience and interactive world more than justifies the need for content to justify the new pricing. However, apart from a few selected examples, it doesn't seem like most gaming studios would follow suit on GTA VI's pathway without expecting some resistance from the community.
