The rumors have been circulating for months regarding the release of Grand Theft Auto VI with a shocking price point of $100 for the base version of the game. However, some reassuring comments have recently been made by Take-Two Interactive’s Chief Executive Officer, Strauss Zelnick, putting all these fears aside.
GTA 6 Price of 100 Dollars Rumors Have Reportedly Been Debunked
At the conference called iicon 2026, he spoke of the price issue in general terms, implying the consumer-oriented strategy on the part of the publisher. He stressed that the idea was to charge “way, way, way less” than the real value offered by the game.
Considering the scale of the project and the number of hours of fun provided in the next Vice City, the developer is consciously creating a positive image of the brand within the community and safeguarding GTA Online 2.0.

- Collector’s Edition ($199.99+): For true fans, the collector’s version will probably be equipped with a map, steel bookcase, and figurines among other bonuses.
