Without question,GTA VIis going to be the biggest video game release since, well,GTA Vin 2013 with fans willing to cough up the cash instantly to play the next entry in the iconic series.
TheGrand Theft Autoseries began in 1997 when it was a humble top-down action game for the originalPlayStationandPC, but despite the technical limitations of its time, it was no less controversial with its take on graphic violence following in the footsteps ofCarmageddon. Years later, the series would set a new industry standard for the open-world genre with the release ofGTA IIIin 2001 and the rest, as they say, is history.

Since its inception, Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto series has pushed the boundaries of both social acceptance and console hardware and withGTA VIseemingly being indevelopment for around 10 years, it will no doubt prove to be no exception. However, with a long development cycle and hefty production costs, it might be safe to assume thatGTA VIcould be a little more expensive than the typical AAA game.
The cost of video games continues to increase, with many games jumping from a standard £59.99 to £69.99 for major AAA new-gen releases. One could argue the case of inflation, which is a reasonable argument but on the flipside, the video game industry is making more money than it ever has right now.
It’s difficult to put a price on value as it’s subjective to an individual, but if a game could warrant an RRP of £69.99, it’s likely to beGTA VIand Rockstar Games’ parent company Take-Two Interactive knows it.

Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games certainly know how to milk the cash cow that isGTA Vwhether it is unit sales, its Shark Cards sold as in-game currency forGTA Onlineor its subscription service, GTA+. So regardless of what the RRP is forGTA VI, it will make a grotesque level of money.
Grand Theft Auto VIwill be released in late 2025 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, that’s assuming it suffers no release date delay.
