On February 6, 2025, the Take-Two Interactive stock was around $183. However, on February 7, 2025, it climbed to around $212. Furthermore, the stock continued to increase to $215, as noted on February 10, 2025. The soar came after the company re-confirmed the GTA 6 release date to fall 2025.

The Take-Two Interactive stock currently stands at $209.94 at the time of writing this article, a value that is still higher than what it was before the GTA 6 release update.

This seemingly suggests how much impact Grand Theft Auto 6 will have on the company once it is released. However, some believe that the upcoming title may also impact the pricing structure of games in general.

In a report titled The State of Video Gaming in 2025, analyst Matthew Ball suggested that the GTA 6 release price of $80-$100 would allow others to increase the prices of games as well:

"There is hope that Take-Two will price GTA VI at $80 or even $100, thereby breaking a key price barrier and enabling the rest of the market to move up, too."

Rockstar Games has yet to confirm the pricing of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto title.
