So, there’s this storm brewing around the pricing of Grand Theft Auto 6—kind of a big deal if you’re into open-world crime games. CEO of Take-Two, Strauss Zelnick, was all cagey about it when Variety poked around for numbers. Like, seriously, they just skipped the whole “let’s talk dollars” bit. It’s almost like they want to keep us on the edge of our seats. Or maybe they’re just being mysteriously vague.
Here’s the kicker: Zelnick says, “We want to give you more than what we charge.” Uh, okay. Kind of corporate-speak, but hey, who doesn’t love value, right? Then they drop this nugget: GTA 5? Yeah, it’s sold over 215 million copies. Can you even picture that many? The whole franchise is nearing 455 million units. That’s like… so many I can’t even count that high without getting dizzy.
Anyway, there you have it. Grand Theft Auto 6 is swirling with rumors it’ll hit $80 or even a crazy $100. Seems like a lot, but who knows, maybe it’ll have enough bells and whistles to justify it. Zelnick mentions the old play of launching with a premium price and then slashing it later on. Kinda predictable but smart, right? I guess we’ll see if they’re playing that card again.
And as for Rockstar, they haven’t spilled the beans on the price yet. But man, those trailers? The first one hit 93 million views in just a day, and the next one? Boom, 475 million. So, yeah, anticipation is off the charts.
Mark your calendars, people. May 26, 2026, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are getting GTA 6. Feels like forever away, but blink and it’s here.
