GTA VI could be very expensive

The speculation around GTA VI is rife due to the insane level of anticipation for its future release. The latest rumour about Rockstar's upcoming release is that its price could be around 100$. Analysts have stated that there are hopes in the video games industry that GTA VI will be priced in the 80$-100$ range. The huge expectation for the game alongside the popularity of the series would make it the perfect target for a price increase that would serve to set up a new standard for AAA titles. Projections aim at an incredibly high number of pre-orders that would make GTA VI the biggest release in the story of video games.

Price increase across the board?

Whatever the price of Grand Theft Auto VI is, it's not strange to think that it could be more expensive than your average AAA title. The average price is now sitting around 70$ for most AAA games, especially those that have generated significant hype. However, these prices can drop fast after launch if the game does not meet expectations or has too many problems at launch. There are few games that keep their launch price a year later, even though there are exceptions to the rule, like Baldur's Gate III, whose undeniable success continues to make it the most desirable choice in its genre. GTA VI could be exactly the same for many years if the game delivers the type of experience the fans are waiting for. After all, GTA V still has a sizeable base of players ten years after it was released.

Spending that much on a game may not be an issue if it keeps you entertained for a long time. However, an overall rise of video game prices across the board with GTA VI as an excuse doesn't seem to be very realistic, especially when in most cases you can just wait a few months for prices to drop significantly.
