GTA 6 could cost much more than a regular game, another expert predicts, so you better start saving for Rockstar Games' next big open-world adventure now here's all we knowTech11:11, 06 Mar 2025How much would you pay for a trip to Vice City?(Image: Rockstar)Grand Theft Auto 6 is expected to be this year's biggest entertainment release (if it does launch in 2025), but it could cost a pretty penny.We've heard before how Take-Two and Rockstar pricing the game higher could help 'save' the games industry, and while some have said it's unlikely, another analyst has said it's not as crazy as it sounds.Michael Pachter, Managing Director of Equity Research at Wedbush Securities, published a research note earlier this week that suggests Rockstar could end up charging $100 (around 80) for what could be the biggest release in gaming history with GTA Online helping to entice players.GTA 6 is still coming this year (apparently)(Image: Rockstar)We think the company has plans to sell the game at a previously unheard-of price point, and suspect that management can offer consumers an incentive to pay $100 or more per unit by rewarding them with a large amount of in-game currency to be spent in GTA Online, the research note explains (thanks, VGC).There is precedent for integrating an online game experience with a premium game, as Activision did so with both Call of Duty Warzone and Call of Duty Mobile content prior to the release of its annual Call of Duty premium instalment, Pachter added.In Activisions case, the integration led to a 40% increase in sales of Call of Duty premium; in Take-Twos case, we think a successful integration of GTA Online and GTA VI can lead to a $100 price point for the premium game.Article continues belowIt's unlikely GTA 6 needs any additional help, but given we heard GTA Online could be offered as a standalone product, there could be other ways for players to get in without paying a higher price.For more on GTA, be sure to check out the news that Rockstar has acquired a new studio, or the latest map 'leak' that dwarfs GTA 5's Los Santos.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.
