GTA 6 price: Speculating the retail price of the game

Grand Theft Auto 6 is one of Rockstar Games' most ambitious projects to date. It took them nearly a decade to develop, and there is still time left for its market release. However, considering the practices followed by other game developers in recent times, the title's base variant should not cost more than $70. We can also assume that the special or collector’s editions will cost slightly more than the aforementioned price. However, they should also but likely not cross the $100-$120 mark.

Interestingly, many fans believe that Rockstar Games may charge $100 per copy of the game. This price tag came up for discussion after a notorious GTA 6 leaker disclosed that the American gaming studio had spent over $2 billion in developing the upcoming Grand Theft Auto title. Several other sources also reported that developers spent over a billion dollars on the title, which gave the $100 rumor more traction.

However, neither Rockstar Games nor Take-Two Interactive, its parent company, has commented on the price to date. The community has also gradually started to believe that the $100 price is just hearsay.

One thing to consider is that Rockstar Games could sell both single-player and multiplayer versions of the game separately. Both GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 can now be purchased either in bundles (Story Mode+Online multiplayer) or any one version of them standalone.

The upcoming title could also follow the same practice, giving players more choices to make their purchases.

The GTA 6 trailer 2 revealed that the game will be released for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on May 26, 2026. Unfortunately, there are no official details about the PC version release available yet. The PC player base may have to wait till 2027 to see the title on their platform.

Since Rockstar Games already revealed the platforms and the release date, the GTA 6 pre-order process is expected to start soon. Readers are advised to follow the studio's official Newswires for confirmed details.
