One of the most persistent rumors surrounding the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI is its price tag. With gaming budgets ballooning into the billions, internet rumors have suggested the base game could cost up to $150. We are here to break down the facts about the GTA 6 price and the different editions you can expect.
The Truth About the $150 Price Tag
Let's debunk this immediately: The Standard Edition of GTA 6 will not cost $150. The industry standard for AAA next-generation games is currently set at $69.99 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. While Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has discussed pricing games based on their per-hour value, pricing the base game at $150 would alienate millions of casual players.
Expected Pre-Order Editions
Instead of a massive base price, Rockstar will heavily monetize the game through premium editions and GTA Online 2.0. Here is what you can expect when pre-orders officially open:
- Standard Edition ($69.99): Includes the base game and potentially a small starting cash bonus for GTA Online.
- Premium/Deluxe Edition ($99.99): Expected to include 72 hours of Early Access, exclusive vehicle skins, and a large GTA$ stimulus package.
- Collector's Edition ($149.99 - $250.00): This physical-only edition will likely include physical merchandise such as a map of Leonida, an artbook, a duffel bag, or a specialized statue, alongside all digital bonuses.
