A Swedish retailer recently put a pretty hefty price tag on Grand Theft Auto 6, estimating it at around $115 USD. If we’re to believe the buzz, this much-anticipated game could set U.S. gamers back about $100. However, Rockstar Games hasn’t said a word yet on how much we’ll officially have to shell out for a copy.
If you’ve been keeping an eye on retail whispers, it seems Grand Theft Auto 6 might make quite the dent in your wallet. Although we’re still waiting on an official release date, signs are pointing to a fall 2025 launch. That’ll make it a staggering 12 years since the last installment. This long wait has only fueled the excitement among fans, leading to all kinds of speculation and hype about what Rockstar has been cooking up. The anticipation is so intense that some industry players are considering pushing their own launch dates to avoid competing with GTA 6. However, if the high price tag rumors hold true, it might just throw a curveball at some prospective players’ plans.
Switching gears to recent chatter, Mario Kart World has set its physical and digital prices at $90 and $80, respectively. This has led to murmurs that Rockstar might be eyeing a $100 launch price for GTA 6. Although nothing’s been cemented in writing, retailers like BrackCH have hinted through a listing that the game could be priced around $115 USD. While this might only be placeholder speculation, it’s wise for fans to prepare, just in case those triple digits turn into reality.
Even if the $100 price point materializes, it’s unlikely to dampen sales drastically. The excitement surrounding GTA 6 is towering, and it’s poised to set new records when it finally drops. If all goes well for the fall 2025 release, it’s almost certain that even with a steep price, GTA 6 could easily be the year’s top seller—despite being exclusive to PS5 and Xbox Series X. Sure, some may find themselves priced out, but many die-hard fans will probably still snap it up at launch.
We’re living in a time where video game prices seem to fluctuate more than ever. With the pricing chaos stirred up by the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 games and the looming Trump tariffs potentially jacking up costs, seeing a $100 tag on GTA 6 wouldn’t be shocking. Here’s hoping, though, that when it finally lands, it aligns more closely with the usual $70 price convention for major releases.
