There’s no doubt that GTA 6 has been one of the most beloved games for over a decade now, all thanks to its compelling story and enormous amount of content additions in GTA Online. However, fans have been waiting for news on the title of the Grand Theft Auto franchise for a long time, and the wait is finally over.
Rockstar Games dropped the first official trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 on 4th December 2023, giving us a look at the game's beautiful Vice City setting and the franchise's first female protagonist, Lucia. But that's not all; Rockstar also gave a launch date for the game. However, there's one thing we still don't know: the price tag for GTA 6.
The studio has yet to officially announce the retail price of GTA 6, but the community has seen various leaks and rumors about it in the last couple of months. Is GTA 6 going to cost $150? Here’s what you need to know.
What Is the Cost of Rockstar Games’ GTA 6 When It Releases in 2025?
The long-awaited trailer for Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto 6 went live on Tuesday and quickly went viral on social media, gaining over 50 million views in just the first 10 hours it was online. The trailer has certainly made everyone jump on the hype bandwagon, and players want to get their hands on the game as soon as possible.
However, Rockstar Games has yet to officially reveal the price tag of the game. In the last couple of months, rumors had been circulating that the developer might follow the practices being followed by other game developers recently, increasing GTA 6’s base cost. Some even suggested that Rockstar could charge $150 for the game.
All these rumors have sparked speculation about the future of AAA games and the rising price they come with despite being an unfinished, buggy mess at the launch. If GTA 6 is double the cost of other AAA Games at launch, it will most likely alienate a lot of potential players, no matter how much content the game comes with. With no official word from Rockstar, fans have been trying to find their own information about the game’s price, fueling the rumor mill further.
Going by the recent trends in the gaming industry, we can safely assume that the base GTA 6 will not cost more than $70 USD, and special or collector’s editions will cost anywhere between $100-$120 USD.
It won’t be a surprise if Rockstar charges even more for the game as some reports suggest that Grand Theft Auto 6 is one the most expensive gaming projects the studio has ever done, with $2 billion USD already spent on the game. This explains why GTA 6 might cost a bit more than usual, as Rockstar Games might think that the game’s immersive experience is worth it.
And that’s everything you need to know about how much GTA 6 is going to cost. Be sure to follow us as we’ll bring you the latest Grand Theft Auto 6 news and updates.
