While fans for its arrival, publisher Take-Two announced the launch window last month.

How Much Will GTA 6 Cost?

For some time now, leakers and insider tipsters have hinted at an unprecedented budget ranging from $1 billion to $2 billion. If we assume this to be true, a high price tag shouldn’t be a shock. Rumours even suggest somewhere around – $150 (£120, €140) price tag.

However, if we go by industry, a steep increase in price seems highly unlikely. AAA games typically debut at around $69.99 / £69.99 on PS5 and Xbox X consoles.
