Okay, so here’s the deal. I’m diving into the wild world of Grand Theft Auto 6, right? And let me just say — this whole pricing mystery is like trying to find the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle that’s gone rogue. Seriously, what’s up with that? Anyway — wait, lost my train of thought. Oh, right! Take-Two Interactive, the big kahuna behind this game along with Rockstar, isn’t exactly spilling the beans on the cost just yet. They were chit-chatting with Variety (yeah, I know, fancy) and basically said their goal is, like, to give us more bang for our buck. Bold move, guys.
Strauss Zelnick, the CEO guy—who sounds like he means business—mentioned we’ll hear the real deal on pricing “in due time.” Whatever that means. It’s kind of like when someone says they’ll be there “soon” and you just stare at your watch. Meanwhile, they’re probably off hitting milestones with GTA 5, because apparently, that game is selling like those limited-edition holiday cookies. Can you believe it’s sold 215 million units? I mean, I can’t count that high without losing my place. And that’s just one game! The whole Grand Theft Auto series? Nearly 455 million. Woah.
Now, the chatter on the street is whether GTA 6 might plop an $80 or even $100 tag on us. High stakes, right? But Zelnick is playing it cool, or maybe he’s just dodging ’cause the release is nine months out. Instead, he talks about the classic strategy: start with a fancy premium price (maybe toss in some special editions) and slowly ease off. Feels a bit like buying a new car where it depreciates once you drive it off the lot. But hey, maybe that’s their game plan.
And while we’re all getting antsy over the price, Rockstar’s been generous in the trailer department. The first one hit a crazy 93 million views in just a day. Not bad, right? But then—bam!—they dropped a second with 475 million views. Like, that’s more people than I’ll ever meet in a lifetime. Don’t even get me started on the math.
Anyway, buckle up because come May 26, 2026, GTA 6 is crashing into PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Mark your calendars or, you know, scribble it somewhere you won’t forget. Or just, like, tell Alexa? Whatever works.
