  • Price of Previous-Gen GTA and Rockstar GamesTake-Two’s Take on PricingHow Much Will GTA 6 Cost?

When it comes to the popular GTA franchise, Rockstar Games is not the only decision maker. Rockstar Games’ parent company Take-Two Interactive also has a significant hold on the situation. Because of that, the way they price their other modern game can directly affect GTA VI’s pricing. And that is exactly how the situation is turning out.

So, even if we don’t have direct confirmation of GTA 6’s price, Take-Two does feel comfortable pricing their top-of-the-line games at least a $70 price mark. Realistically, thanks to the massive success of GTA V, things won’t be any different for GTA 6.

If the launch price of GTA 6 doesn’t seem pricey, its DLCs might. At the moment, most GTA 6 leaks and rumors point to an expanding story and an ever-growing world that will require you to purchase new DLCs as they launch. We don’t think that not buying the DLC will impact the original story. However, it can keep you from experiencing the true potential of the game.
