Games aren’t as cheap as they once were, so it’s important for fans to know how much they must save to buy their favorite title. Throughout this piece, we’ll touch on how much GTA 5 cost when it was released in 2013, how much a copy of Red Dead Redemption cost in 2018, and what are the industry’s standards for AAA titles.

The price of previous big Rockstar releases

GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 were the two big games released by Rockstar in the recent past, so it’s worth taking a look at their pricing at release.

Most AAA games nowadays cost $70.

How much will GTA 6 cost?

Though Rockstar has yet to announce the release date for GTA 6, let alone its pricing, we can assume GTA 6 will most likely cost $70—if not higher—at launch.

The reason we could see GTA 6 costing more than $70 at launch is because fans have been waiting for the next GTA entry since 2013. Depending on Rockstar’s efforts, fans would be more than willing to pay $80 for GTA 6. I certainly would.


This article will be updated when GTA 6’s pricing is revealed.
