GTA 6: Would You Pay $100 Like Other Gamers?

Analyst Matthew Ball once suggested that if Rockstar and Take-Two set new pricing standards for AAA games, it could potentially save the gaming industry. In response, players were surveyed to gauge their willingness to pay $100 for the entry-level edition of Grand Theft Auto 6. Surprisingly, over one-third of the nearly 7,000 participants indicated they would be willing to pay this price for the basic version of Rockstar's new sandbox game, despite Ubisoft's trend of requiring extended versions for their titles.

Not long ago, Matthew Ball's statement went viral, asserting that if game publishers begin selling their titles for $100, it could be a lifeline for the industry. He believes that Rockstar and Take-Two could lead by example, setting a new precedent for other companies to follow.

Rockstar has announced that Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online will receive updates in 2025, aligning the PC version with the enhancements seen on the PS5 and Xbox Series. While details are sparse, these updates are expected to go beyond mere visual improvements.

Currently exclusive to PS5 and Xbox Series users, the GTA+ subscription service may soon be extended to PC gamers. Additionally, certain features available on console versions of Grand Theft Auto Online, such as Hao's exclusive car modifications that allow vehicles to reach extremely high speeds, are not yet available on PC. There is a strong possibility that these extreme turbo-tuning options will soon be accessible on PC as well.
