Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) is one of the most anticipated games of all time, but rumors of a $100 price tag have divided fans. While some argue that the game is worth the premium, others worry about the precedent it could set for the gaming industry. Here’s why the debate is heating up—and what it means for players.
The $100 Price Tag Rumors
Recent leaks suggest that GTA 6 could retail for $100, a significant jump from the standard $70 for most AAA games. While Rockstar Games has yet to confirm the price, fans are already debating whether the cost is justified.
Streamer xQc weighed in on the discussion, defending the potential price hike. “Gamers will buy 5 early access, half-baked $140 games and sprinkle $300 worth of skins in a year,” he wrote. “But when a AAA company goes all out and takes their time to make the most anticipated polished product we know they can make, suddenly $100 is too much? Stop talking.”
Fans Defend the Price
Many fans agree with xQc, arguing that GTA 6 is worth the premium.
- “GTA 6 will be one of few games worth the $100 price tag,” wrote one fan.
- “Rockstar Games has given us so many amazing titles, to think $100 is overpriced is funny,” added another.
- “$100 is fair ONLY for GTA 6,” commented a third. “I don’t think there is any other game in the industry that would be worth so much money and had so much money put into its production.”
These fans believe that Rockstar’s track record of delivering high-quality games justifies the higher price.
The Other Side of the Debate
Not everyone is on board with the $100 price tag. Some fans worry about the impact on the gaming industry, particularly for lower-income players.
“I don’t think you can really have an opinion on this when you’re a multi-millionaire,” wrote one user. “It’ll be an issue for lower-income people who struggle to even afford AAA games at their current price. It only takes one game at a higher price for the industry to follow.”
Others argue that Rockstar’s success with GTA Online means they don’t need to charge more for the base game.
