Understandably so, being one of the most anticipated games of the decade, the GTA 6 teaser has created a lot of talk. Although Rockstar has not yet made an official announcement on the precise pricing of GTA 6, there are a few rumours and conjectures that may help us estimate the game's price.
What Is The Price Of GTA 6? Estimating the Price
The regular version of Grand Theft Auto 6 is anticipated to cost at least $69.99 USD. This is due to the fact that in the last several years, games like God of War Ragnarök and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 have become more and more expensive. Given the lengthy development cycle, inflation, and regrettable leaks, the basic game is probably going to cost around $70.
Regarding the other versions, it is likely that the GTA 6 Deluxe and Collector's versions ((the latter of which could contain soundtracks, artbooks, and other extra material) might set you back $100 USD or more.
High Costs of Development
The GTA series, which has broken revenue records so far, is the largest video game franchise in history. There are rumours that the development expenditures are more than $2 billion, which suggests that the firm may try to recoup these expenses by raising the price of GTA 6.
Remarks by Strauss Zelnick on video game costs
During Take-Two's Q2 earnings conference in November 2023, rumours circulated that Strauss Zelnick, the CEO of GTA producer Take-Two, believed that games should be "priced by the hour." Though his precise words were not quite clear, his point was that games are valuable investments due to the amount of entertainment value (and duration) they provide for a given price.
This is a passage from his quote: Because we provide several hours of involvement, our frontline pricing are still quite affordable by that perspective. The interaction has a very high value. Thus, I believe that customers have a fantastic price-to-value potential in the business as a whole.
Will GTA 6 Set You Back $150?
Recent rumours suggest that Grand Theft Auto VI would cost $150 USD, however they should be taken with a grain of salt since neither Rockstar nor Take-Two have confirmed this pricing. It's also possible that the price of the game varies depending on where you live. For instance, GTA 5 cost more in Europe than it did in North America.In conclusion, the pricing of Grand Theft Auto 6 is most likely going to be $69.99 USD, the Deluxe or Premium Edition will probably be around $100, and if there is a hard-core fan edition of the game that has a lot of stuff in it, the price may really be $150 USD.We'll let you know as soon as Rockstar releases an official statement right here.
