The expected price of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) is widely speculated to be higher than the current standard AAA game price of $70. Industry analysts and reports suggest the following pricing outlook:
- Standard Edition : Likely between $70 and $90, with many expecting around $80 as the new baseline price for major releases
- Deluxe Edition : Estimated to cost between $100 and $120
- Collector’s Edition : Could exceed $150, depending on included extras
The rationale behind this potential price increase includes GTA 6's enormous development budget, rumored to be between $1 billion and $2 billion, making it possibly the most expensive game ever made
. This budget far surpasses GTA 5’s $265 million production cost. Additionally, inflation and industry trends toward higher game prices support the possibility of GTA 6 breaking the $70 price barrier
. Some analysts even speculate that Rockstar could price GTA 6 at $100, possibly bundling in-game currency or digital bonuses to justify the higher cost
. However, others believe Rockstar might keep the base price at $70 or $80 to avoid backlash and maintain accessibility, relying on microtransactions and GTA Online for ongoing revenue
. In summary, while no official price has been announced, the most credible estimates place GTA 6’s standard edition price in the $70–$90 range, with special editions potentially costing significantly more, possibly up to $150 or beyond
