Fans who have waited years for the sequel are now horrified by the official price point revealed for the game.
The announcement confirms that GTA 6 will launch at 79.99 USD for the base digital and physical editions across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, and PC via the Rockstar Launcher. This represents a 10 dollar increase over the standard pricing of recent major releases, prompting immediate backlash.
"Rockstar is pricing out the average gamer with this move," commented a prominent gaming YouTuber with over a million subscribers. "We all love GTA but at this rate, it feels like they're taking advantage of the hype."
Online forums have exploded with similar reactions. Threads on r/GTA6 are filled with posts expressing outrage, with many fans declaring they will boycott the launch or wait for discounts.
While some defend the price citing the game's ambitious scope, including a massive map and advanced AI, the majority seem to view the update as greedy.
Rockstar Games has not issued any further statements, but sources close to the company indicate that the price was set after careful market analysis.
With the release slated for fall 2026, the coming months will show if this horror turns into acceptance or if it affects the record breaking sales everyone expects.
