GTA 6 is rumored to cost around $150 per copy. According to some speculations on the internet, Rockstar Games could charge a premium amount for its upcoming project. The pricing of the newly released Red Dead Redemption port has also caused fans to believe it. However, the gaming studio hasn't officially confirmed the price tag of the upcoming game.

Nonetheless, the community still believes the upcoming title will be a game-changer similar to its predecessor. This article briefly explains why the rumored $150 price tag will not affect the popularity of GTA 6.

GTA 6 has the highest demand of any video game ever

The next Untitled Grand Theft Auto game is popular even before its official release. Fans have been asking for the game for years, and Rockstar Games finally acknowledged it on February 4, 2022, and released the first official GTA 6 trailer on December 5, 2023.

The gaming studio took five years to release Grand Theft Auto 5, and it is currently one of the most commercially successful video games it ever created. Ironically, Grand Theft Auto 6 has already broken the wait time record of its predecessor and is about to complete ten years in the making (development started in 2014).

The notorious GTA 6 leaks of September 2022 gave the player base a glimpse of what Rockstar Games has been cooking for the years. The clips were reportedly from a pre-alpha stage and had many bugs and glitches. Despite this, they went viral on the internet, with many players praising what the gaming studio has accomplished so far.

Although Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games’ parent company, has taken down most of the leaked clips from the internet, new details keep on surfacing with time. The $150 price tag is one of the newest rumors that surface on the internet now and then.

While some fans could argue that the rumored GTA 6 price is too high, they can anticipate a great gameplay experience from the studio.

GTA 6 is also rumored to be one of Rockstar Games' most ambitious projects. A few recent leaks also added base to it. The improvements in the police AI, American Producer Timbaland's involvement in music, and implementation of a new Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE 9), etc., have fans hyped for the new gameplay.

Strauss Zelnick, Take-Two Interactive's CEO, also recently reported that the organization has aimed to generate profits of around eight billion dollars in the upcoming times.

Therefore, it is safe to assume that even if Rockstar Games charges $150 per copy for the next Grand Theft Auto game, it will generate record-breaking profits for the studio.


Players are requested to take the rumor with a grain of salt until the developers confirm the official price of the game themselves.
