  • GTA 6 at $100 Would Be ‘A Bridge Too Far’ — Even for Grand Theft Auto


    A few years ago, most big AAA games cost $60. Then came the price hikes, with game after game launching at $70. Now this week, we’re hearing increasing discussion of 2025’s most anticipated game, Grand Theft Auto 6, potentially costing not $70, not $80, or even $90…but $100.

    Could it really?

    The suggestion of a $100 GTA 6 technically comes from Epyllion CEO and analyst Matthew Ball in a lengthy presentation on the state of gaming in 2025 published last week. Near the end of the presentation, Ball says that “some gamemakers hope GTA 6 will be priced at $80 to $100, breaking the $70 barrier and helping $50 titles to move up to $60, $60 to do $70, $70 to $80 etc.”

    “Packaged game prices have never been lower in real terms than they are today — even though budgets are at all-time highs and player growth is stalled,” Ball writes. “GTA 6 could re-establish packed video game prices after decades of deflation despite rampant cost growth.”

    Ball’s report doesn’t make the direct claim that GTA 6 will cost $100, only that some game makers are hoping it will cost somewhere around that much. However, the mere suggestion sparked significant discussion on social media as to whether or not it was possible or advisable for GTA 6 to cost that much, and whether doing so would really help the industry…or GTA for that matter. So I reached out to some other analysts for their takes on the notion. And they had…thoughts.

    Could GTA 6 Actually Cost $100?

    Sure, it could, says Mat Piscatella, analyst at Circana. Anything’s possible, especially for a game as anticipated as GTA 6. But is it a likely, or reasonable outcome? “Probably not.”

    “There’s just no need,” he wrote in a post on Bluesky. “You want to make the funnel as wide as possible, while also optimizing launch $. You don’t do this [by] making the base price of a game so high that the funnel narrows. It just makes no sense. At all.”

    Joost van Dreunen, NYU Stern professor and author of the SuperJoost newsletter, agreed that a price increase would be a “mistake” for Take-Two and Rockstar, noting that it was unlikely to deviate from what made GTA 5 work out so well for them:

    “Their success with GTA 5 came partly from their pricing strategy — launching at a standard price point late in the console cycle, then selling another copy to those same players when they upgraded to new consoles,” he said. “They’ll likely stick to this proven approach, though they’ll definitely offer premium editions with extras at higher price points.”

    I spoke to five different analysts, all of whom largely agreed that GTA 6 wasn’t going to be priced higher than the usual $70…for the base game, at least. Because both Piscatella and MIDiA’s Rhys Elliott pointed out a critical loophole here: Publishers already are charging $100 for games.

    “Most huge AAA games already charge $100 (sometimes more) in the first 3-7 days before launch, but they call it ‘early access’ and slap ‘collector’s edition’ in the name,” he said. “Publishers have hijacked collector’s editions as a way to charge more for ‘early access’ – AKA delayed access for those consumers unwilling to pay the markup.”

    Elliott named a number of publishers using this strategy already, such as WB Games (Hogwarts Legacy), Xbox (Starfield), EA (EA Sports FC 25), and Ubisoft (Star Wars: Outlaws).

    But he added that the idea of charging $100 for the “base game” without these extra perks would be “a bridge too far,” even in the case of GTA.

    They’d find success either way.

    “They’d find success either way,” he said. “GTA 6 is going to be a cultural phenomenon and could bear a $100 price point, but player backlash would be significant, and that would be a short-term gain at a long-term cost. Maximizing day-one premium revenues and giving mass consumers sticker shock is not the play here, especially in today’s economy. And while many gamers will play through GTA 6’s single-player, online is where the engagement – and recurring revenue spend – happens. It’s where the real revenue comes in. Rockstar would not want to limit its total addressable market there.

    “One of the major challenges for GTA 6 is convincing players to jump ship from GTA 5’s online component, so creating a needlessly higher switching cost would not be wise here.”

    How much for GTA Online?

    Elliott brings up a critical point here: GTA 5 was a massively successful game, but the thing that really gave it staying power to sell five million copies a quarter for a decade was its online multiplayer playground, GTA Online. Which begs the question: even if GTA 6 is priced at $70, what will its version of GTA Online cost? Will Rockstar and Take-Two really keep it available at no additional cost, as before?

    James McWhirter, senior games analyst at Omdia, thinks so.

    “GTA Online was key to GTA 5’s ongoing success, driving premium sales and subscription service licensing; a precedent Take-Two is unlikely to disrupt with GTA 6’s launch,” he said. “Alternative pricing schemes will likely emerge only after establishing a strong player base for the next-gen GTA Online, which will anchor long-term engagement. The real challenge lies in managing continuity between two live-service GTA Online games. Depending on how Take-Two handles this transition, alternative business models could emerge sooner or later.”

    Elliott largely agrees that the same model as before is most likely, pointing out that both GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 didn’t see the launch of their online modes until shortly after the release of the main game. But he also sees the potential for other possibilities:

    “While I think we will see something similar for GTA 6 and its online component, I can also see a world where Rockstar launches them completely separately,” he said. “If they did this, they would probably add some online perks into the ‘single-player version’ to nudge players to play online, too. Another possibility is having the core story play out in GTA 6, then adding subsequent story content into the online mode – best of both worlds, perhaps.

    “As for subscriptions, Rockstar will likely continue what it set out with GTA+, perhaps adding a battle pass to complement as well.”

    Five Million a Quarter

    I’ve covered Take-Two’s earnings calls for several years running now, and inevitably every single quarter in my memory, they’ve managed to sell five million more copies of GTA 5 while making piles of money off GTA Online as well despite the game being over a decade old now. It’s difficult to imagine any other game ever matching or exceeding that level of success.

    But if any game can, it’s GTA 6, seemingly without the need to upset its players by hiking up base game prices. Assuming GTA 6’s launch cost and plan are roughly the same as GTA 5’s, van Dreunen concluded his response to me with a prediction. It’s one he’s made before back in December of 2023, but which he stands by now as well: GTA 6 can and will match or exceed the success of GTA 5.

    “When GTA 5 launched in 2013, about 29% of console gamers (35 million) purchased a copy,” he said. “Assuming a similar adoption rate among an anticipated 130 million console install base in 2025, GTA 6 could sell around 38 million copies in its first twelve months. At an average selling price of $70, this would generate approximately $2.7 billion through both digital and physical channels, aligning with Take-Two’s projected earnings increase for 2025.”

    If gamemakers are hoping and praying for a $100 GTA or even an $80 one, it sounds like they may have to keep dreaming after all.

Grand Theft Auto 6 has been one of the most highly anticipated games in recent years, with fans eagerly awaiting any news or updates on the next installment in the popular franchise. However, if recent rumors about the game being priced at $100 turn out to be true, it may be a tough sell for even the most die-hard GTA fans.

While video game prices have been steadily increasing over the years, with many AAA titles now launching at $70 or even $80, a $100 price tag for GTA 6 would be unprecedented. The previous installment, Grand Theft Auto V, launched at $60 and has since become one of the best-selling video games of all time, thanks in part to its lower price point.

Many fans have expressed concern over the potential price of GTA 6, with some saying that $100 would be “a bridge too far” and that they would be hesitant to pay that much for a single game. While Rockstar Games has not officially confirmed the price of the game, it’s clear that if it does launch at $100, it may not be as well-received as previous entries in the series.

Ultimately, whether or not GTA 6 is worth $100 will depend on the content and quality of the game itself. If Rockstar Games delivers a truly groundbreaking and innovative experience, fans may be more willing to shell out the extra cash. However, if the game fails to live up to expectations, a $100 price tag could be a hard pill to swallow for even the most dedicated Grand Theft Auto fans.

  • ‘You’re not supposed to say this out loud!’: Baldur’s Gate 3 dev reacts to analyst who says some game makers ‘hope’ Grand Theft Auto 6 will cost up to $100 at launch


    Larian head of publishing Michael Douse warned that game companies are saying the quiet part out loud after industry analyst Michael Ball wrote that some of them are hoping Grand Theft Auto 6 will launch with a price of at least $80, and possibly as high as $100.

    The remark came in Ball’s “State of Videogaming in 2025” report, which lists Grand Theft Auto 6 as one of several “potential new ‘growth engines’,” alongside things like user-generated content, the release of the Switch 2, and the growth of “non-core” markets.



    In a recent interview with a gaming analyst, it was revealed that some game developers are hoping that Grand Theft Auto 6 will cost up to $100 at launch. This shocking revelation has sparked controversy within the gaming community, with many fans expressing their outrage at the idea of such a high price tag for a single game.

    One developer who was quick to respond to this news was the team behind Baldur’s Gate 3. In a statement released on social media, they expressed their disbelief at the analyst’s comments, stating, “You’re not supposed to say this out loud! The idea of charging players $100 for a game is ridiculous and goes against everything we believe in as game developers. We strive to create immersive and engaging experiences for our players, not price them out of enjoying our games.”

    The backlash against the idea of a $100 price tag for Grand Theft Auto 6 has been swift and fierce, with many calling on game developers to prioritize player enjoyment over profits. It remains to be seen whether Rockstar Games, the developer behind the Grand Theft Auto series, will heed this outcry and reconsider their pricing strategy for their highly anticipated upcoming title.

    In the meantime, Baldur’s Gate 3 fans can rest assured that the developers behind their favorite game have their best interests at heart and will continue to provide quality gaming experiences at an affordable price.

  • ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ set to break records despite gaming slowdown

    ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ set to break records despite gaming slowdown


    The long-awaited release of the latest Grand Theft Auto game is set to be the biggest entertainment launch of 2025, generating a projected $3bn in its first year, making it a bright spot in an otherwise lacklustre video game market.

    Grand Theft Auto VI, which publisher Take-Two Interactive is set to release in the autumn on PlayStation and Xbox consoles, is likely to exceed $1bn in pre-orders before it even becomes available, according to analysts at DFC Intelligence, a video games research group.

    Total revenues from GTA VI’s first 12 months after release are expected to reach $3.2bn, DFC predicts, double its 2013 predecessor. Such a success would far outstrip 2024’s biggest films Inside Out 2, which grossed $1.7bn globally according to Box Office Mojo, and Deadpool & Wolverine, which has taken $1.3bn.

    “I never claim victory before it occurs,” Take-Two’s chief executive Strauss Zelnick told the Financial Times. “That said, I think [GTA’s developer] Rockstar Games will once again deliver something absolutely phenomenal . . . Certainly the anticipation is high.”

    Gamers have been waiting more than a decade for the latest in the cinematic action game series, which will feature a Bonnie and Clyde-style criminal couple rampaging around Vice City. The first GTA VI trailer, released in December 2023, has been viewed more than 225mn times on YouTube.

    “We think it’s going to be one of the biggest entertainment launches in history, not just in games but for all of media,” said Yoshio Osaki, chief executive of games-focused IDG Consulting. “The pent-up demand is greater than anything we’ve seen before.”

    However, GTA VI will be an outlier in a games industry that is still struggling to recover from a protracted slump, leading to lay-offs at Sony and Microsoft’s gaming units, as well as top publishers including Take-Two, Electronic Arts and Ubisoft. More than 33,000 people have lost their jobs since 2022, according to tracking site Games Industry Layoffs, including almost 15,000 in 2024 alone.

    Zelnick conceded he was “a bit surprised by the reduction in demand” from players that started in 2022, as post-pandemic consumers turned off their screens and returned to live, in-person events. “All of us in the industry had to do some restructuring,” he said. “We too got a little bit ahead of ourselves in terms of growth expectations.”

    Now, the Take-Two chief believes growth is starting to accelerate again.

    “It’s way too early to believe that this [console] generation is maturing or has reached its apex,” Zelnick said. “You’re seeing more consumer demand broadly. And the [games] industry, frankly led by us, has an amazing release schedule coming in 2025 and beyond . . . A hit coming from one company tends to benefit the entire industry.”

    Not everyone is so optimistic. Ampere Analysis, a consultancy, forecasts that consumer spending on games content and services will increase just 2.2 per cent in 2025 to $195bn. That year-on-year growth rate is slightly higher than Ampere’s estimate of 1.4 per cent in 2024 and better than the 4.8 per cent drop between 2021’s pandemic peak and 2022’s lockdown easing.

    Nonetheless, it pales in comparison with the industry’s huge expansion in the previous decade: games content spending doubled from $95bn in 2015 to $191bn in 2021, according to Ampere.

    “We’ve grown so well in the last 25 years that it feels like none of us knows how to work in a non-growing industry,” said Nicholas Lovell, a games designer and consultant. “We are now a mature business . . . There is no funding and the market is oversaturated [with new games].”

    Even an outsized hit such as GTA or the anticipated debut of Nintendo’s new console will not be enough to return the games industry’s growth rate to its former pace, according to Matthew Ball, a tech investor and author of The Metaverse.

    “The largest structural problem faced by the industry is a reduction in time played per player and the number of players,” Ball said. That is especially true in the US, where video apps like TikTok have been attracting smartphone users away from games, he said. At the same time, he added, “the global market for mobile gamers is no longer growing”.

    The slowdown in the smartphone market has deprived the industry of one of several huge growth drivers over the past decade, alongside the rise of social games such as Roblox and Among Us, and new business models such as Fortnite’s “battle pass” subscription that unlocks more virtual goods as players progress.

    “Three years [after the pandemic], the biggest games are as big as they were, there are no bigger games and most of the others have shrunk,” said Ball. “Nearly all of the major studios are contending with the fact that they believed there would be many millions of players more and that audiences would be trying new games.”

    While the most popular games and franchises — such as Fortnite, football simulator EA Sports FC and Microsoft’s Call of Duty — continue to be extremely lucrative for their creators, they are not growing at the pace they were a few years ago.

    At the same time, it is getting ever harder for new releases to lure players away from their tried-and-tested favourites, especially as new content is now regularly added to the biggest games all year round.

    “Publishers are banking on the fact that as these games become more evergreen, it’s better to bet bigger on a tried-and-tested [intellectual property] and have more longevity, with live services and content updates,” said Osaki.

    One of those enduring hits is GTA V, which has sold more than 205mn copies to date, with an online multiplayer version that continues to attract millions of players each month. That gives Take-Two a strong base on which to launch the new game.

    The launch of GTA Online was “pretty bumpy”, Zelnick recalled, initially crashing under high player demand. “One of the things Rockstar has done in the last eight years is vastly improve the technical underpinnings of everything we do,” he said. “We don’t tend to have those kinds of challenges any more.”

    Unlike annual franchises such as Call of Duty or EA Sports FC, the long gap between GTA’s releases makes them an extraordinary event for gamers. “Nobody has managed to do what GTA does as well as GTA does,” said Lovell.

    But that comes at a huge cost, with estimates for its development costs running from the high hundreds of millions to as much as $2bn, including post-launch content updates. “It might be the last hurrah of that way of doing business,” Lovell said. “Very few people will be able to make that kind of bet on that kind of property.
