Grand Theft Auto 6 is coming next year, and one of the many unanswered questions about the game is what it will cost. People have made all sorts of predictions so far, and that's continuing now, with analysts Serkan Toto, Piers Harding-Rolls, and Rhys Elliott sharing their thoughts.
Toto and Harding-Rolls told GI.biz that they believe the game's standard edition will cost between $70 and $80, but the game's deluxe editions could come in at $100 or more.
Some have theorized that GTA 6 could be $100 for its standard edition, and Video Game Insights analyst Vic Bassey said, "If there was any game likely to cross the $100 threshold," it would be GTA 6.
Bassey does not think it will happen, but some kind of price hike may be in order. "Based on the level of hype surrounding the game, it would be prudent for Take-Two to pursue a price increase--although reaching $100 might just be a threshold too far," he said.
Another factor at play here is how GTA 6's expected online mode might factor in. Elliott said Rockstar might be smart to keep the price of the standard edition relatively low to help bring in even more players and funnel them to GTA Online.
"Limiting the total addressable audience at launch with an aggressively high base price would hinder the crucial GTA 5 to GTA 6 player migration and slow the growth of the GTA Online user base," he said, adding that GTA 6's online mode is expected to be a "long-term cash cow."
Following multiple delays, GTA 6 is now set for release in November 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a PC release expected to follow later.
