Rumors have been circling the internet for years about what the price of Grand Theft Auto VI will be, and since the announcement of GTA VI 8 months ago, this topic has only become more popular. With game director speaking says that most games should cost more and studios are just waiting for GTA 6 to do that.
A triple A video game has a base price of around £60 / £70. With the latest Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 priced digitally at £69.99 for the standard edition then that goes up even more if you upgrade the edition. A physical edition of BO6 is priced around £57. Gamers weren’t really impressed with the base price of £70 for video games when in the Xbox 360 / PlayStation 3 days you could get a Triple A game for around £40 and the game would actually release fixed and not require 50 updates. and 2 years of your life for it to be fixed.
GTA 6 could cause video games to increase price tag
On Twitter (X), the director of publishing for Baldur’s Gate 3, Michael Douse said that video game studios are waiting for the price of Grand Theft Auto 6 to increase the base price of their games. Due to the large size that GTA 6 will be at launch, and it will be the biggest game ever released, we all expect it to cost more than £70, and many people on social media expect it to be close to the. £100, Over 40% increase in price.
Michael Douse said almost every video game should cost more at a base level because costs and inflation outpace pricing trends in the industry. He then goes on to say that everyone is just waiting for Rockstar to increase the base price for GTA 6 before everyone else does the same thing.
Would you support video games costing more than £70 for the base game? When you see companies like Activision, EA and Take-Two making more money than they know what to do with, then we don’t think publishers need to increase the price of Triple A games. Just another way to give more money to shareholders.
