Grand Theft Auto 6 is anticipated to launch in late 2025 and is already regarded as one of the most awaited video games in history.

The game's development costs are rumored to exceed $2 billion, potentially making it the most expensive video game ever created, especially when compared to GTA 5's budget of $230 million.

Due to these high costs, speculations about GTA 6's price have emerged, with some analysts predicting a potential price tag of $100.

However, industry analyst Matthew Ball clarified that he does not expect the game to be priced at that level, predicting it will likely be priced between $70 and $80 instead.

Ball also suggested that if priced between $80 and $100, GTA 6 could reset video game pricing standards, as current prices have not kept pace with inflation despite rising development costs.

Some developers support Ball's perspective, noting that game prices have not increased in line with inflation, while fans have expressed backlash, arguing that modern monetization strategies like DLC should alleviate the need for higher base prices.

Industry experts predict that GTA 6 could generate up to $3 billion in its first year, following the massive success of its predecessor, GTA 5, which earned $9.5 billion since its launch in 2013.

GTA 6 is expected to introduce advanced AI technology for non-playable characters (NPCs), enhancing their realism and interactivity.

Rockstar's anticipated improvements to NPC behavior could set a new standard for immersive gaming, potentially advancing the industry significantly.

In the coming weeks, Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson announced that new details about Grand Theft Auto 6, particularly its online mode, will be released.
