GTA 6 Third Delay Fears Finally Put To Rest, $80 Price May Be Coming
After two high-profile delays, the anxiety surrounding a potential third postponement for Grand Theft Auto VI may finally be subsiding. According to a credible industry insider, Rockstar Games is now internally confident that the game will make its current November 19, 2026, release date—though it may come at a higher cost to players than anticipated.
The reassurance comes from Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming, a source with a strong track record for Rockstar-related leaks. In a recent discussion, Henderson stated, “I think Rockstar are confident enough now that it will release this year,” directly countering the widespread online speculation of another delay. He added that the launch is expected to be so massive it could temporarily strain internet infrastructure, highlighting the anticipated global demand.
However, the potential end to delay fears is paired with a new prediction that could stir debate: the game’s price tag. Henderson suggests the standard edition of GTA VI may be priced at $80, breaking the $70 standard that has defined the current console generation. Furthermore, special editions could reportedly reach $100 and $130, with a potential collector’s edition priced as high as $300.
This pricing forecast has sparked immediate discussion among fans. Some argue that Rockstar, with its unparalleled hype and guaranteed sales, has no need to risk consumer backlash by raising the base price. “Why risk turning people off?” questioned one fan online, noting the game will be a commercial juggernaut regardless.
Others see it as an inevitable industry shift, pointing to other major titles that have already tested the $80 barrier. They argue that GTA VI, as a purported “AAAA” experience, could be the title that normalizes the higher price point for blockbuster games.
