Key Takeaways
1. GTA 6’s release, after two delays, is planned for November with high expectations for revenue.
2. A recent (now removed) listing suggested a price of £89.99 (around $100) for the Xbox Series X version, higher than previous expectations.
3. A survey indicated that gamers felt $100 would be a fair price for GTA 6, possibly influencing Rockstar’s pricing strategy.
4. The PC version was listed at £60.99 (about $83), but is unlikely to be released in November, following the GTA V pattern.
5. The listed prices may be temporary placeholders, and no official pricing for GTA 6 has been announced by Rockstar yet.
One of the most talked-about and eagerly awaited games, GTA 6, is still a few months away from being released. After two delays, the planned release in November carries a lot of expectations. According to VC firms, the game is predicted to generate a massive amount of revenue in its first two months, but Rockstar needs to price it wisely to make that happen. Fans have been guessing the price for some time, and now, there might be a hint of confirmation.
Recent Developments
The new details come from Loaded (previously known as CD Keys, via Insider Gaming), a digital store that offers digital codes for games, DLCs, and other products. A recent listing for GTA 6 on Xbox Series X, which has since been removed, had a price attached. It was listed at £89.99, which would translate to around $100 in the United States. This is higher than the earlier expectation of $80. A survey conducted in Brazil back in August of last year indicated that gamers believed $100 would be a fair price for GTA 6. It seems Rockstar might have taken that feedback into account, unfortunately.
PC Version Pricing
Interestingly, the listing also provided a price for the PC version of the game, which is very unlikely to release in November. This version was listed at £60.99, which would be about $83. At this point, Rockstar is anticipated to follow the pattern set by GTA V, launching the game on consoles first in November this year and then making it available on PC roughly a year later.
It’s important to point out that these prices might just be temporary placeholders, and since the page has already been taken down, there’s no assurance that these were the final prices for the game. Additionally, GTA V was released at the same price for both consoles and PC, which was $60 in 2013 and 2015, respectively. Rockstar has yet to announce any pricing for GTA 6, and it’s likely we will see more leaks as the release date approaches.
