Would You Pay $100 for GTA 6?

Literally the only game that could make me pay more than what games already cost is GTA. If any other publisher tried this, i wouldn't buy until it was massively discounted.

I own enough games currently that I could replay each of them and not have to buy another game for at least 4 years. So publishers will need to tread very carefully...

I won't even pay $69.99 for a game on principle. At the base price, at least. Let alone this insanity.

Anyway, I still have yet to put more than a few hours into GTA V, so I don't see any reason to rush to the newest one when it comes out.

Yes. $130 even. That freaking thing will be my gaming life for 4-5 years.

I don't know if I would get GTA 6 for that much or not, but I do know that this $5 bagel tastes pretty damn good.

Honestly, it depends on the game. For this, I’d say yes. I do believe GTA6 will be the next turning point for pricing in video games. I have a difficult time believing this will be $69.99 at launch. At minimum, I think it’ll be $89.99. I could be wrong — and I hope I am, as in the price being lower — but I don’t think so.

That's a big no from me. I'd rather wait until it's on sale.

All we here about is the cost of consoles making consoles less and less appealing or possible for people to get into gaming. How would content breaking into the hundreds work industry wide by the same logic

[checks how much GTAV made] Hahaha… nope. Not going to pay 70 for it either. No need to feel sorry for game publishers

Depends on if it ends up being a generational game that I'll be playing for ages. I know gta5 was technically that and I really enjoyed what I played of it on a bloody ps3 no less. But eh. And I often see it on sale for $15 so maybe I'll wait for a sale or something

Sets a really bad precedent.

If it happens (maybe it will, maybe it won’t) those who participate open the door for other developers to do the same. I’m not against studios finding ways to generate revenue, but they’ll [rockstar] make plenty off of the game by selling it at a price already established by the market. You can try to justify it by saying it’s a market research strategy to try to help other developers, but in reality it’s just greed. Also, I’m sure some Rockstar fans can’t afford a $100 price tag.

If other developers need to find ways to make money off of a game that cost $70- then I’d suggest taking a good hard look at the product you’ve put out aka make a better game.

Not interested with this game.

I likely won’t play this game but I think $100 or more is likely the fair value.

These games go on sale for half their value within a year or two anyway

Well, I wouldn't buy a GTA game for any price, but a $50 PS1 game in 1996 adjusted for inflation today would be approximately $100. If anything we've just had it very easy for a weird amount of time.

AAA games cost $125 here in Australia; the sticker shock has already been lost in many countries. That said, today, $100 US is worth $160 in AUD; that is an undoubtedly a sobering number, haha

Not even $10 on a sale.

Instead of developers making games prettier and bigger and then wanting to charge more, maybe they should stop improving graphics and size and focus on literally everything else. If you keep making games better looking and bigger, your developments costs are going to go up further making the whole industry head into an obvious crash. Raising the price isn't going to work because most people don't want to pay higher than what they're already paying, so raising the price will results in fewer sales.

If anything, graphics and size need to scale back, not stagnate. Better hardware shouldn't be used to make games bigger and have better visuals if those said games still run like *****.

Grand Theft indeed. I’d wait for a sale on this.
There’s no point in pricing gamers out of gaming. An industry rethink would be/is needed.

For a base version of any game, absolutely not. I could understand for a special edition or something like that, but if 100 a pop ever did happen I wonder how many would be priced out and just wouldn't bother anymore.

I'd pay 100 50p's. I ain't paying 100 for any game. Most AAA games I buy are from sales.

If it's just the standard edition of the game then I'm not paying $100 for the base game. $70 is the highest I'm willing to pay for that edition itself.

For GTA6? $80 maybe, but $100 is one heck of an increase.

I mean I remember paying $70 USD for some SNES games in the early 90s which is like, what, $140 now? I wouldn't pay $100 for GTA6 because I just don't want it, but the idea isn't crazy. I'm honestly surprised games haven't really increased in price more than they have.

I paid $70 just once for a game this gen, I will happily make GTA 6 the second game I pay that for but I won't go higher than that.

N0 game is worth it.i enjoy grand theft auto.but nah dog.word Up son

I’ve never played a GTA game before, and I certainly wouldn’t start by paying $100 for one.

No game is worth paying that much for. Absolute p!**take.

I will be buying GTA 6, but will wait for it to appear in sales if it's over £70.

Worst of all, is if people pay that much, it will embolden other publishers to hike their prices up too.

I wouldn't pay $100 for my favorite game, let alone for GTA6. I have enough games in my backlog to last me plenty long, without needing to buy anything new.

The video game industry will either implode or self destruct if they keep raising prices like this, they raise prices to $100 per game and you will have less people buying games, and less people buying games will equal more studio closures, and studio closures equal nobody making games, and nobody making games will mean gaming will go the way of the dinosaur - extinct

For GTA? Yes, but there better not be some 150 dollar Deluxe edition. And every, and I mean EVERY other publisher better not try anything funny, you're not Rockstar and your game isn't anywhere near Rockstar level.
But let's be real, if there will be a price hike, it will be a sneaky 80 bucks and other will soon follow soon.

I would pay $100 to stay out of modern Florida, lol. Really though, for me these games lost a lot when they stopped doing more interesting eras. Things are so beyond parody now.

I like GTA but for $100? Not a chance. I'm not that big of a fan. The only series that could potentially get me to pay that price as a start would probably be Persona and even then I'd have to think about it.

What, $100 for a game that’ll probably be buggy, need updates to fix, likely be half finished, and THEN need paid DLC to finish it? How the HELL does anyone think this is a good idea?! I mean it is one thing to get a deluxe or collector’s edition for that price when it has extras, but $100 for a base game is absolutely stupid.

I’ve been waiting for this game almost 12 years and I wouldn’t get it at launch at $100 even with the money in hand as it’d just be too much greed, but we all know if someone can get away with it that’s Rockstar, good luck to any other publisher that attempts it tho.

Absolutely not.

To be honest I already wait for sale on most as it is given the current state of gaming. If game prices increase even another 5, I'm out of day and date releases especially when the new norm is release technically unpolished and charge us those prices to beta test so they can eliminate the cost of paid testers all while the shareholders and executives take in record profits and salaries.

They can F right off. I can be smart and wait. In terms of GTA 6, hell no, it's going to be an overhyped, over monetized samey iterative mess anyways. The have been milking the series along with its terrible control schemes and shallow gameplay for decades. Hellllll no for even current retail.

No chance. It sets a terrible precedent for middling games like COD and Assassins Creed to start charging the same and in my view it will lead to a major decrease in sales. I think it would be a huge mistake and I really hope we aren’t headed in this direction

We didn't see even a solid gameplay, so i can't say if it's deserve this price, it could be a game changer or just money grapper.

No, they’ll make obscene amounts of money from their online mode and it will continue with 6’s mode so there’s no excuse to charge more for the base game on day one. They have no reason to charge more other than greed

I'm certain a lot of people would pay that price, but it would sell much less. Given the real money maker is in the Online portion, getting the game into the most hands possible is in their best long term interest, rather than trying to make a quick buck up front.

Never

Especially when I know it'll be the only mainline GTA game until PS7 and I can get it cheaper later with all the updates/polish already released

It's not like these games will ever capture the magic of the PS2 Era GTAs for me so I can be patient on this one

At first i thought, nah no way. Then i remembered i stood in line at GameStop to get RDR2.

I think it cost 70 bucks? So with inflation, around a hundred. Ultimate edition tho, with the horse download and all that.

No way in hell…but many would.

Yet more confirmation that this is my last gen of gaming.

Pricing themselves out of business.

It is quite frankly getting ridiculous.

I'm personally not hype for GTA 6 when Dan Houser, the main writer who wrote for every GTA games from 1 to 5, RDR 1 + 2, Bully, L.A Noire, and Max Payne 3 already left Rockstar back in 2020.

So no, i'm not gonna pay that much for GTA 6 especially when i don't know if the game would be as good as previous GTA nor who's gonna write the story.

And from some report that i watched, Rockstar isn't the same company anymore with how they hired plenty of new staff with background similar to SBI employee.

But eh, i guess it's sooner than later that we would get $80-100 as standard price :/

I mean, i expect the base verison would be 70 at least, but they’re predicting that pre orders would be one billion

If you do it with the pricing then its to be expected to have the same quality, polish, voice acting, motion capture as Rockstar games, plus barely any bugs. I would not expect games made with the same quality as Jedi Survivor to be even near that price point.

you know it’s kinda funny that it appears that the ps fansite that doesn’t the news that the industry is about to improve.

then i realize, negativity drives clicks, and if the fans aren’t happy then no one is happy.

No ur pricing people out

I fear for this industry because AAA gaming is becoming unsustainable, not only are the development budgets reaching ludicrous levels but we also have the medium being used by certain people and groups to push political messages, this is causing division amongst gamers which in turn leading to games failing to reach sales targets. Make no mistake Concord will have absolutely terrified Sony, I'm just glad I lived through so many great eras of gaming.

This is what crashes the industry, the majority can’t afford $/£100 games and it’s too much for the casual impulse gamer. Can you imagine Ubisoft charging $/£100 for the recent rubbish they’ve produced? Games studios would be closing down even faster

I won’t even pay the regular price for it. I’m perfectly fine waiting a year or longer for a good deal. GTA games are fun, but massively overhyped.

An absolute F**k no from me..

Absolutely not and whilst it's possible the GTA6 could still sell well at that price point, there is no chance whatsoever, that other games would be able to be successful at that price point

Charge £100 and I’m buying it second hand from CeX.

Rockstar get nothing then.

Considering Nintendo were charging $70 30 years ago I’d gladly pay $140

come on now. just because rockstar/take2 could get away with that asking price, doesn't mean any other publisher would have the same result. gta 6 is the most unique case in the entire gaming industry. i'd like to see anyone else try that and not see their unit sales impacted. give it a try, i dare you in all seriousness, i have not purchased a game at launch, at full asking price, in about 8 years and that's not going to change. i generally don't buy games beyond the $30CAD mark anymore. as such, the launch price is irrelevent to me.

Gonna start saving up now. 10 King Charles a month. Sorted.

That sounds like a satirical joke they’d include in a fake in-game talk show or advert. It is becoming more expensive to create games, but I don’t feel it’s $100 a game expensive. Wonder if the top dogs have reduced their cut in the last few years, before cutting staff

Will you be being this game for at least 100 days? $1 a day and you'll more than likely be playing for a few years. Not bad in the whole scheme of things

On top of this you will be tempted to buy Shark cards, subscribe to GTA+ just to get the premium graphics and content. And also the Online part will be heavily monetized in one shape or form. It's getting out of control now, for sure ...

I have no interest in GTA 6 personally, but to all the people expressing shock and horror at $100, do you not live in the real world? In 2025, how much do you think $100 is actually worth? A family meal at a restaurant or trip to the cinema and you won't be getting much change from this, I can tell you. Realistically, it's a pretty fair price for a game that will give you 100s of hours of entertainment - what else can you buy for $100 that will give you that?

I don't consider GTA to be the pinnacle of video gaming or anything like that, so no, I don't see why I would want to pay more for it. Plenty of other video games have been more valuable to me.

If there's a game I wouldn't pay more for, it's Rockstar's incredibly overrated money grabbing casual bait.

I don't care about the price tag because I always buy my games day 1 for the full price since you get the best possible experience completely polished and bug-free.

If games weren't complete or if they had major bugs then they wouldn't be sold for 70€, it's simple as that.

Dafuq they are smoking? I Will wait for the ps7 version.

No interest in GTA, but £/$80 across the board is inevitable due to Covid inflation.

Always love to see Monday morning discourse, I'm not sure how I feel about this. One hand I think it's very arrogant that other "devs" feel like they can get away with this now. But to the answer the poll question, I do feel Rock Star have earned my trust, because their games are always very polished from day 1.

So thinking economics here. Raise a price and you get three types of people - 1) who will never pay that much for any game. 2) people who will either get impatient and buy after a period of times or can wait for a reduced price. 3) people who will just accept the price.

Rockstar have great demand and supply doesn’t really come into it (as its digital), other than how much money people have (as a supply). So it’s all dependent on the demand - if rockstar know they are going to get 10m day 1 sales at x amount = n profit, and 20m sales at y amount = n+1 then they will choose the one that gives the best number depending on priorities, which I should imagine will be profit but they might want “the fastest selling game of all time” to encourage further longer term. I reckon a significant amount of money has been spent already by rockstar on this type of market research to find out how they can get the most sales.

In terms of the inflation argument etc that’s all BS as that doesn’t matter when you have a game that’s going to sell as many as this. Basically rockstar will put this game out for as much as they can to maximise profit, so if they will put to the maximum they foresee that will maximise numbers, sales numbers and profits. 100 is also a psychological price and a big milestone to break. Not sure other developers will be successful in pushing this price but whatever rockstar do is what others such as EA will try for sure.

One other point - GTA6 could be the last of the decade or longer development games - it’s too big and takes too long to develop rewards and gamers are not into this so much anymore. But who knows their might be more, but really a game that takes as long as someone to go through puberty is too long!

Stupid funny this , 100 for a game, and they are doing hoping others will follow suit, just too funny, because of that happens alot more companies will go to the void. And push people further into pirating, and also 100 dollars for half finished game, won't future dlc, day 1 patch, week 1 patch month 1 patch l..yeah on your bike son

To make me pay $100 for a game, it will need to be something exceptionnal, something never seen before, AND a game that will be 100% finished and polished at release, without bugs and a with flawless performances. Good luck with that...

for a $100 i better be able to actually feel the strippers

i’d buy it anyway because of FOMO

I kind of see the argument from a developer's point of view, games are requiring more and more resources to make these days. But I don't think I could ever stump up three figures for a computer game.

Besides, Rockstar is the last company that needs to make more money

It’s the only game on planet earth that I would do that for. Maybe The Last of Us 3.

In retrospect, £100 would be a good price point for Elden Ring and maybe BG3. That's a personal thing and I wouldn't expect anyone else to agree.

Generally, however, I wouldn't pay £100 for any game. Unless it's a special edition (collector's and such) with physical components. £70 is a reach. Some of my favourite games were priced lower than the old industry standard of £50 (SOMA, Meatboy, Penumbra, Gmod, TF2, Portal, etc.) and so anything excessive would go ignored by me until it drops in a sale. I'd favour smaller indie and AA titles.

Definitely not. I'm patient enough to wait for a sale. Besides, everybody is assuming it's gonna be a great game, but what if it kinda sucks?

@Juanalf Happily? 🤔

Surely they should be analysing why so few games are delivered in a playable state and actually finished way before anyone considers raising the base price of a so called ‘AAA’ game? The industry seems to have become very comfortable with the patch it later ethos

A lot of liars in the comment section, you’re 100% buying it.

It genuinely depends on what the game ends up being.

If it's "more of the same" and lacks significant innovation - aka large swathes of this entire console generation - then I'll hold off and pick it up when it's bargain price.

A visually improved GTA5 with a new story isn't really going to tempt me.

Cannot emphasise enough that GTA's biggest appeal has been the drastic improvements made game-on-game.

What are those drastic improvements going to be in PS5 and in 2025? I'm happy to see... but I'm not confident it'll be enough for day one for me!

I would do it for GTA 6, but that's about it. Also it would depend on the reviews.

Nope, too rich for me.

In fairness, I’ve played GTA V for less than two hours - couldn’t pass some early checkpoint so just gave up and went for a surf

In the United Kingdom, Nintendo 64 games were priced £54.95 (equivalent to almost £130 in 2024) at release, so as an older gamer who had an N64, I have paid a lot more than $100 for games before...

We do not know much yet. So, my opinion may change. But if it is remotely as good as gta5:

• absolutely yes If it had a VR mode (which it won't)
• no, otherwise.

Yes I would. Some games are worth higher prices than others. RPGs and games like GTA provide several hours of entertainment plus take longer to make. Games like the Witcher 3, RDR2, KCD2 and others cost more to make but the value is high. I have long thought certain games need to cost more. I always thought it was funny that fighting games cost more than a RPG. Not all games are equal and should be priced accordingly. As a fellow professional I support an increased cost for the base. As my fellow engineers and programmers need to stay employed.

I wouldn't pay $/£100 for GTA6, no. But then I'm not particularly looking forward to it. I am waiting for reviews.

I don't pay £70 for a game now, and considering how greedy and scummy rockstar have gotten lately I'll wait for a discount

I’m not willing to pay more than £60 for anything. Will wait for a sale if it’s any higher. Wait long enough and I may aswell just play certain games from PS+/GamePass instead

Good bit of market research you’ve stirred up, Push Square. Rockstar would probably love to access this discussion data. I’m guessing they’ll still be a $70 base but will probably have like 5 or more editions running up to $200 - $300 for some ultimate digital edition.

100 quid ,you having a laugh,but people will because they're daft, and then the flood gates will be opened,expect to pay 99.99 for the next god of war 🙄

On a separate note I remember saving up as a kid and paying $79.99 for Final Fantasy III (6) for SNES around 1995 at Toys R Us. Games are certainly cheaper nowadays adjusted for inflation.

No, and honestly I feel that most analysts don't really know how the market works.

GTA V: "It is the second-best-selling video game of all time with 205 million copies shipped, and one of the most financially successful entertainment products of all time, with over $8.5 billion in worldwide revenue."

these are some crazy numbers. I would pay £60 tops. I loved Elden Ring being £49.99 when released in UK, i wish more new games were like that

@Rjak gta will never have a story as deep as gta4 again in my opinion . i think most people already know that GTA6 story won’t even be better than 5’s

Gaming industry wants to eat itself some more. The great gaming crash can’t come soon enough.

No for a couple of reasons. I don't think a Rockstar story is worth £100. If they do push a heavy price tag it will be to justify their accompanying online mode. I don't care about GTA Online, and I think it's responsible for many companies focusing on live service models today. £100 is how much I'd pay for a game and it's season pass, or how much I'd pay for a special edition version of a game that included a physical art-book and other extras. I don't expect either.

If I did pay that much day one for a single game with no season pass or DLCs then I'd be enabling the next company that comes along to do the same thing.

By the time it hits Steam, and once the winter sale hits, I'll gladly pay $40 for this game.

I'll wait for a sale, even if that means waiting a couple of years. I just want to play single player not the online so why should I fund that portion of the game which is going to be full of micro transactions anyway.

I think they plan to sell for £80-100, but I think it'll just be pure greed because they don't need to with all the money they make from the online.

Ideally, I want to wait until PS6 to pick this up, since why get the PS5 version when a slightly better version is only a few years away?

I also can't remember the last time I bought a game on release due to their £70 price tags and being buggy messes (plus the 100+ other games I've still to play or finish).

However, I can see myself caving on this due to the FOMO.. it's still a GTA game after all. I might just wait a week or two after release to make up my mind.

@burgerkingsauce true person of culture right here. love the profile pic.

on topic though, I don't buy games new anymore. and GTA has been overrated for awhile now anyway. so that's a no from me.

I remember paying £70 for Virtual Racing and £65 for Super Streetfighter II on the Megadrive and even £70 for an Import version of SF Zero 2 on the Saturn back in the day, but in the current age of sales and discounts, let alone CEX, I can probably wait, but then I'm not a huge GTA player by any stretch either.

Ultimately, it will probably sell well even at this ridiculous price, with the issue being others trying to justify rises for their own software, which will have less content and engage players less.

The gaming industry loves a slippery slope and I can only see this going one way if they try it and get away with it.

I need that J.Jonah Jamieson gif.

I've said this before, but I don't think any game is worth more than £60 to me. I typically don't buy games at launch anymore, and if I do, it is Nintendo, or it £50 or less. I don't have interest in GTA anyway but if other Devs and Publishers try it, they are going to be sorely disappointed.

Absolutely not. GTAV was and continues to be one of the biggest selling games of all time. If the next one is anything like the current one then online won't be available at launch so you're initially only paying for the base game story, when Online does come it'll have so many micro-transactions it'll be another cash cow for them and the will make a ton of money. An initial price that high would just be corporate greed.

all the dudes & dudettes who have disposable income are being very undude & undudette when they say they would not slam that 100 and go at it.
It's GTA. What waiting? Do you think there will be another release in your lifetime? No waiting. Only playing as soon as we can.

Nope. No chance and never. Worst part is £50 is too much for me to splash the cash, so a 50% sale on GTA is still too much for me, so I'll unlikely ever play the game.

I don't doubt GTA6 will be worth $100, buy I don't really care for the series so I wouldn't buy it. I've still never bought 5 after all of these years. I'm always curious if I would enjoy it - I could not get into 4. If people love 6 maybe I'll buy way down the road when it's ported PS8.

They could do that for sure, but they won't.

No way in the firey pits of hell would I pay that much for a standard version of a game. Just nope!

@LikelySatan interesting. I grew up in Miami, lived there for 30 years before finally leaving. Best decision of my life. But the idea of playing in a virtual one where I can cause destruction is very appealing to me, just the same as it was when Vice City came out. At the time I worked in Little Havana, and would come home every night and go on sprees in the same area of the game. It was very therapeutic. They absolutely nailed South Florida in the trailer, so much so that I could swear I saw a lot of my friends in it. Can't wait to dig in. Not sure if I would pay $100, but still can't wait.

For me, it depends on the title. A game like GTA6 (if GTAV is anything to go by) will have an enormous life. The single player game is huge, the production quality is generally incredible, the online content is constantly updated, and you can invest as much or as little as you want. So yeah, maybe taking into account how many hours can be put into a top tier AAA game like this - and that excitement is already higher for this than anything game in recent memory, $100 probably can be justified. BUT, it shouldn't be the outlier for every other studio to think that their games are in the same bracket. Should annual games like FIFA or COD charge the same, or games that have a short single player campaign, of course not. This IS GTA though

The problem would be, I'm confident Rockstar would give 100 bucks worth of a game, it's that the entire industry would follow and not give us even close to the same quality. We just saw this when games went up to 70. We haven't been getting better games or quality games across the board from games along for 70.

I can't see them charging £100. Well I'm sure there'll be deluxe editions etc which I'm sure the big fans will happily buy, but I'd bet the base game will be the standard price. If (and I'm sure it will) it has multiplayer similar to 5, that's where the big money is anyway.

$100 GTA6? For me GTA5 was a bargain at $60 purchased at release in 2013. Hundreds of hours of replays and online play for two years. Online played like no added cost dlc and there was no additional cost for playing online. I never purchased a Shark card.

Now the cost to play online needs to be factored in. $50 and now $60 per year to play online is not significant when spread out between multiple games and if online play dominates overall game time. For those that online play may only be GTA6 then $60 per years played is added to that possible $100 purchase price. Now add possible online stuff that may be behind a real money paywall.

Will it all be worth the cost? If you play hundreds of hours and there is added on dlc like content added online at no additional costs like in GTA5 then I say probably maybe.

It really depends on the individual. Do you think you would find $100 of value in a game like GTA 6? If so, then yes. If GTA is not your thing, then no.

I won’t, but I’m sure many will. And I’m pretty sure other publishers will misread the situation and hike the prices of their own games. It won’t end well for anyone but Rockstar.

I'm the minority who doesn't care about GTA 6. I wait for a sale. I played the GTA 5 solo campaign and tested online but the community was so toxic that I didn't have any fun online. I guess this won't change with GTA 6. And if GTA 6 doesn't run with 60FPS in performance mode (on a pro) I won't buy it at all.

Dan and Sam Houser, who wrote everything Rockstar has done since the dawn of time are not involved on this one, they were the life and soul of Rockstar.

This will not be a good game story wise, and it will be generic slop.

GTA is the excuse they use for not even releasing their own games and who would do that but I'm not surprised if they do hope this

I would pay for GTA at $100. Any other game and publisher, probably not, unless they are games/making games of GTA quality and longevity.

No this is ridiculous this game is gonna release with a vast amount of problems giving these companies more money when there profiting more than ever will not give us optimized games

I wouldn't pay full price for GTA 6 even if it launched at $50. I will gladly wait for a sale. I've played through all of them, but the last one I really enjoyed was Vice City.

@Fishnpeas, Yes there are some concerns that was not present with the release of GTA5 backing in 2013. Then I was only concerned with how it looked and performed on the PS3. Now I'm concerned about the game itself. Will it still be GTA or will it be similiar to the recent failed Hollywood trends and not be GTA as we knew it and want GTA6 to be.

Won't be buying anything in Dollars. Use Pounds here. Bit pedantic i know but you could have included it in the article you know since its a UK site.🤷‍♂️

Is this $100 for the base game??? then ***** no.

But $100 for digital deluxe or whatever with early access, sure.

No thanks, I'll play my backlog and buy the game maybe 1-2 years after launch when it's discounted at least 50%.

$100+tax to be a beta tester for what is likely to be a rather buggy open world game (at least at launch like with most releases). no doubt rockstar will iron out the kinks after a few months, but if anyone truly believes the game won't have bugs and performance issues on day one, better lower your expectations while you still can. no, it won't be cyberpunk levels of bad... there is just too much riding on this to allow that to happen. hell, even sony would provide resourcses to rockstar in this scenario when you consider how paltry sony's releases will be this year... but let's face it, this is a game of enormous scope and even with 5000 developers working on it around the clock, a completely polished experience just isn't in the cards without substantial beta testing and user data after launch.

GTA 6 is the only game I would happily pay $100 for. GTA 5 has the most hours played on PS5 because of GTA Online. There's so much content released in GTA 5 that it's worth the price if it's set this way for GTA 6. For a game that was released 10 years ago and is still going strong, yes.

It's probably going to cost $140 where I live

See you on Black Friday

If they suck my d... maybe hahahaha

If there is one game that can afford to be priced at $70 and still make exorbitant amounts of money, it's GTA.

Hell, this game will probably sell over 100 million copies. If they charged $10, it would still recoup the estimated one billion cost.

@Steeleye50 I'm really just not interested in seeing a "parody" of modern America, or even a mirror of it. The idea of Florida as a place to escape to. Lol.

I will find another hobby the day when games cost $100.

Also, not interested in this game.

Good indie games will be well priced. Thats where my gaming is at most of the time. But by all means, increase your AAA crap 80.

Its about shifting the overton-window. If Rockstar can sell their games for $100, then other publishers may be able to add another 10 or 20 bucks to their previously-accepted tier.

And for indies, I´d welcome a change like this. God knows Stardew Valley and Hollow Knight are worth so much more than I paid for them. But I don´t think anything resembling "AAA-developers" deserve more money for their buggy, microtransaction-riddled, half-baked, game-as-a-service, skinnerboxes.

If a game is too expensive to make compared to how much they can feasibly charge, then the problem is with the management. They need to bring down the scope of the project, and if they can´t or won´t do that, then they´re not very good at their jobs. Either way I refuse the call to help cover up their inadiquence by paying more.

I draw my line for game purchases at $63.
No game will ever be worth more than that, no matter what and when games do go above, I will wait until they get discounted, FOMO is not an issue.
The sweet spot for me tho is and has always been $54.

The DLC will be 100 also.

@LikelySatan I get that. For me though, it was a place to escape from. Believe me, I've seen enough insanity to last 3 lifetimes there. Have a good one!

Sweet bulbous pulsating Christ no.

"Christ no" was too short, so have a few modifiers.

Absolutely not, I can easily spare that €100 but I would rather spend it on groceries and food for our family.

Not for a 30fps game. I’ll probably wait to PS6 and play in 60fps.

Hell no I wouldn't

Today's $70 games are cheaper when adjusting for inflation than almost any time in the past.

Hell to the no.

@Mr_B021 (#10) Damn right, and companies are NOT our friends.

@zupertramp fellow crow counter spotted

Yes! I've unintentionally spent over $500 on GTAV/Online. Lmao.
