GTA 6 Price Finally Confirmed, Features a 'Single-Player Experience' at Launch
Rockstar Games has officially confirmed the price of GTA 6, while also revealing that the game will feature a “single-player experience” at launch. The base version of GTA 6 is set to cost $79.99 on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, marking a $10 increase from the standard $70 pricing seen in this generation of consoles. The Ultimate Edition, which includes additional content, will be priced at $99.99, a $20 premium over the base game.
While Rockstar has not confirmed any updates to GTA Online at this time, it is believed that the existing GTA Online experience will continue to operate independently as GTA 6 launches in November 2026. This suggests that the online multiplayer component will remain untouched by the new release, at least for now.
The price point of GTA 6 had been one of the most anticipated and widely discussed topics in the video game industry. Some analysts had speculated that Rockstar might push the base game price up to $100, but the $79.99 figure is a notable departure from the $70 standard. This move could set a precedent for other triple-A titles to adopt a similar pricing strategy. So far, only Nintendo has released a new game priced at $80, with Mario Kart World being the Switch 2 launch title. Meanwhile, Microsoft had previously backed away from its own $80 plan last year.
