With nine months to go until GTA 6 finally arrives, one question weighs heavily on every prospective player’s mind: how much is this going to cost? While Rockstar Games remains silent on pricing and pre-order dates, a prominent online retailer may have accidentally let the cat out of the bag—or, more likely, thrown a placeholder into the wild to gauge reaction.
As spotted by eagle-eyed users on the GTA VI subreddit, digital key storefront Loaded (formerly known as CDKeys) has listed the Xbox Series X/S version of the game for £89.99. The listing is currently marked as “Coming Soon,” with an option to set a reminder for when pre-orders go live .
The PC Version Mystery
Intriguingly, the same website also lists a PC version of GTA 6 for £60.99, allegedly redeemable via the Rockstar Games Launcher. This is particularly curious given that Rockstar has not officially announced a PC version of the game. The console versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S are confirmed for November 19, 2026, but the PC port remains unacknowledged—a point of significant frustration for the platform’s fanbase.
Placeholder or Genuine Leak?
Before anyone panics about a near-£90 price tag, context is crucial. Loaded is a third-party key reseller, not an official retail partner like Amazon or GameStop. The pricing on such sites often operates independently of official manufacturer pricing, especially before an official RRP is announced.
Industry observers are almost unanimous in viewing this as a placeholder. Retailers frequently list high-profile games with estimated prices to capture early interest and email sign-ups, adjusting the cost once the publisher provides official numbers. The inclusion of a PC version—which doesn’t officially exist—further suggests the listings are based on speculation and rumors rather than insider information.

The £100 Rumors
The £89.99 figure isn’t plucked from thin air. Persistent rumors have circulated for months suggesting that Take-Two Interactive may position GTA VI as a premium-priced product, potentially crossing the symbolic $100/£100 barrier for a standard edition. Given the game’s reported $2 billion development and marketing budget, some analysts believe a higher price point is inevitable.
However, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has historically been coy on the subject, stating only that the company aims to “deliver great value” and that pricing decisions are made “at the time of release”. The company has already tested the waters with premium pricing for its NBA 2K series, suggesting a willingness to push boundaries.
What About Special Editions?
It’s also worth noting that the Loaded listing likely refers to a standard edition. Rockstar will almost certainly release multiple tiers of GTA VI, including special, ultimate, or collector’s editions bundled with digital content, physical extras, and potentially early access. These higher-tier editions could easily command prices in the £100-£200 range, making the standard edition—whatever it costs—seem more palatable by comparison.

The Bottom Line
For now, the £89.99 price tag should be taken with a massive grain of salt. It reflects the current speculation ecosystem but carries no official weight. The real price of Grand Theft Auto VI won’t be known until Rockstar and Take-Two are ready to announce it—likely alongside the third trailer and the opening of pre-orders, which most expect to land sometime this spring or summer.
Until then, gamers can only wait, speculate, and prepare their wallets for what will undoubtedly be one of the most expensive—and most anticipated—entertainment products in history.
