Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to launch later this year and is expected to cost at least $80, following Nintendo and Microsoft announcing $80 price tags for their games.
This price increase trend is influenced by various factors like President Trump's tariffs, leading major publishers to raise game prices in the U.S., with Sony likely to follow suit.
Take-Two and Rockstar Games are likely to price GTA 6 at $80 or more, with the anticipation that fans will still purchase the highly anticipated game despite the higher cost.
Rockstar Games may benefit from the precedent set by other publishers, as announcing GTA 6 at $80 will be less controversial after recent price hikes in the gaming industry.
