“Grand Theft Auto VI” is touted as one of the most ambitious projects in the history of the popular game series. As such, the price of the upcoming game is something you’d want to start saving for as early as now. Details about the pricing have recently been revealed.
‘GTA VI’ price
Strauss Zelnick, the chief executive officer of Take-Two Interactive, the game publisher that owns “GTA” developer Rockstar Games, said the cost of AAA games like “GTA VI” should be accounted for in terms of a “per hour value.”
Major game releases currently retail at between $78 and $91, and an increase in the pricing of GTA VI would be fair.
“In terms of pricing for any entertainment property, basically, the algorithm is the value of the expected entertainment usage,” Zelnick pointed out. “Which is to say that the per-hour value times the number of expected hours plus the terminal value that’s perceived by the customer in ownership if the title is actually owned, not, say, rented or subscribed to. By that standard, our frontline prices are still very, very low because we offer many hours of engagement.”
Furthermore, media outlets argued that comparing the costs of creating a superb AAA gaming experience, along with the time spent and effort exerted, the price of the upcoming “GTA VI” is still relatively “very low” for the consumer.
However, there is no official confirmation that the publisher is increasing the price of GTA VI, but it is possible that the game will cost more than gamers are used to.
The rumored price increase may make sense since the new map for “GTA VI” will feature more than 100 locations.
‘Desperate’ fans
The first trailer of “GTA VI” was unveiled last December. With the game announced to launch by the fall of 2025, fans are “desperate” to see more teases. After that first trailer, nothing followed suit yet.
“We’re all just desperate for news,” said The_Ghost_Of_Pedro on Reddit.
Many gamers would agree.
Moreover, another Redditor, Fun_Accountant2900, made a fearless forecast saying that you’re “likely’ to see more “GTA VI” updates within this August, in the form of screenshots.
It’s what we’ve been waiting for, too!
The Redditor said, however, “Entirely speculation, but knowing the timing of when Rockstar released screenshots for ‘GTA V’ and ‘RDR2,’ we’re likely going to see ‘GTA VI’ screenshots in under a month!”
“GTA VI” is an upcoming crime and heist game set in the fictional open-world Leonida state – inspired by Florida – and Vice City, based on Miami, following the criminal duo of Lucia and her male partner, with no official name yet, but rumors say he will be named Jason.
