Discussing the topic of big upcoming titles such asCall of Duty: Black Ops 6, Indiana Jonesand more, it appears as thoughTake-TwoInteractive will not be following in their footsteps.

This is despite Microsoft making more of an effort to bring high-profile day one titles to the Xbox Game Pass.

“Offering a frontline title with a premium price in a subscription service, day and date, will push consumers to that subscription service for at least a period of time,” Zelnick said.

Fair enough.

As a result, it looks like Xbox users will be joining the rest of us in purchasingGrand Theft Auto VIat full retail price when it releases some time next year.

However, fans of Grand Theft Auto can still find some past entries on the Xbox Game Pass store such asGrand Theft Auto V.

This could mean we could seeGTA VIarrive on the subscription service but it will probably be in quite a few years.

With the second official trailer expected to release any day now, fans are eagerly anticipating seeing more footage from the highly anticipated title.

Let’s face it, nobody is going to mind buying this release at full price.
