As the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) draws closer, the gaming community is abuzz with excitement—and speculation. One of the hottest topics is the possibility of the game breaking the $100 price barrier.

A new report from Michael Pachter, Managing Director at Wedbush Securities, suggests that Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) could potentially hit the market with a price tag higher than expected, possibly reaching $100 or more.

The success of past highly anticipated game launches, like GTA 5, Skyrim, and even the Nintendo Switch, has shown that some games can command higher prices due to their overwhelming demand. GTA 5 still consistently appears on bestseller lists years after its launch, which might allow Take-Two Interactive to price GTA 6 above the average market rate while still ensuring strong sales.

Pachter suggests that the potential for such a price increase could come from tying GTA 6 to GTA Online. By offering players a substantial amount of in-game currency for the online component, Take-Two Interactive could mirror the success of Call of Duty with Warzone and Call of Duty Mobile, where the integration of a free online experience with a premium game boosted sales by 40%. Take-Two has also shown a willingness to experiment with pricing, as seen in the 2020 release of NBA 2K21.

Despite the speculation, GTA 6’s actual pricing remains uncertain, as Rockstar Games has kept much of the game under wraps. However, the possibility of a higher price point has broader implications for the video game industry. If GTA 6 succeeds at a premium price, it could pave the way for other games to follow suit, normalizing higher game prices despite consumer resistance.

That said, there are caveats. Not every GTA player is invested in the online experience, and it's unclear whether GTA 6 will feature a new version of GTA Online or continue with the existing one. The success of GTA Online could hinge on whether Rockstar releases a revamped version tied to the new title or simply provides currency for the current game, which may not be enough to justify the premium price for some players.
