GTA 6’s fans defend potential hefty price tag

With the potential launch on the horizon, rumours regarding the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) 6 have been swirling. A recent leak has disclosed the expected price tag, sparking widespread discussion among fans.

While the developer Rockstar Games has remained tight-lipped since its first and only trailer was released in December 2023, a recent rumour suggested that GTA 6 might come with a hefty price tag, potentially exceeding $100.

This rumour has sparked concern among fans, who worry that this could set a precedent for future AAA game releases.

Notably, the rumours gained attention after early pre-order listings for GTA 6 appeared online, with some retailers listing the game at a price as high as $112.

While some fans have defended the expected price tag, citing the game's expected scale and longevity, others remain skeptical.

That said, there might also be alternative explanations for the rumoured price such as the pre-order listings could be for special editions of the game, which often come with additional content and higher price tags.

Moreover, another possibility could be that the developer is planning to separate the base game from its online mode, similar to how GTA 5 and Grand Theft Auto Online are now treated as separate entities.

In other news, Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two Interactive, has allocated $74.5 million for advertising in fiscal year 2026, indicating the launch of GTA 6 around fall 2025.
