Industry analyst says GTA 6 should have priced at $200 instead of $80

The game is all set to launch on November 19, 2026

With GTA 6 just months away from release and pre-orders already live for the game, discussion about the game’s pricing has once again sparked the internet.

The game has already made many headlines, as this is the first-ever AAA game that is priced at $79.99. However, one industry analyst believes that Rockstar Games could have charged even more. Let’s check out more details in this article.

Analyst believes GTA 6 is priced too low

According to analyst Ben Thompson from the TBPN podcast, the game is underpriced and it would have remained commercially successful even if it was launched at $200.

According to him, Rockstar Games has crafted something truly special, which could rarely be seen in modern AAA games.

He also described this game as one of the last major games created before the AI begins to play a much larger role in the development process.

Rockstar Games has invested years in the development, an unimaginable amount of resources and money. Because of that, he believes that the current $80 price tag doesn’t do justice and reflect the value of the game.

He even stated that people will still buy GTA 6 even if it was priced at $200.

Conclusion

The points that Ben Thompson provided are very true. YES! Rockstar has invested years, many resources, and money, and crafted something that we will rarely see in the modern AAA gaming industry.

However, this does not mean that people will buy the game even if it is priced at $200. People and gamers are already complaining about the recent price hikes in the gaming industry.

Yes, a few rich people might buy the game at $200, but not everyone is rich and no standard edition of the game should even cost this much at this point. What are your thoughts on this? Will you buy GTA 6 if it were priced at $200? Do share your thoughts and views with us in the comments section.
