Rampant GTA 6 price speculation has been around since the game's reveal, but Rockstar has finally set us straight by announcing key pre-order details. The new game will cost $80 when it launches in November this year, and physical editions will actually be code-in-box. It's more expensive than a standard $70 game, sure, but I'd forgive you for sighing in relief after an analyst predicted a $100 price tag just last year.
While you won't need to sell your kidneys to afford GTA 6, it does speak to a fast-growing new trend in the price of games in 2026. The rapidly-fading industry standard price point of $60-$70 is well and truly under threat, as GTA 6 joins the likes of Mario Kart World and Elden Ring Tarnished Edition in establishing new retail parameters. I hate to say it, folks, but it's only up-hill from here.
