A few months before its release scheduled for November 2026, Grand Theft Auto 6 is attracting all the attention. Rockstar Games remains tight-lipped on the concrete details of the launch, whether it be the precise content, special editions or the final price. However, an unexpected appearance on an online sales platform has just reignited speculation.
A price listed at £89.99 for the standard edition of the game was spotted on the site Loaded, formerly CDKeys. In the United States, the same page showed $124.19. In both cases it was impossible to make the purchase.
A high price that surprises the community
The screenshot shared on Reddit quickly sparked many reactions. The price displayed exceeds the current standards for AAA games, generally positioned around 70 to 80 euros or dollars for the basic edition. One user commented: “I know most of us will pay this price, but can you imagine the impact on the gaming industry if we normalize this?”
Another added: “If this happens, players should not defend this kind of practice and should react as they did when The Outer Worlds 2 was sold at $80.” These reactions reflect a broader concern: that of a possible lasting increase in the price of video game blockbusters.
A credible leak or just a provisional price?
Despite the excitement, several elements call for caution. Loaded is not an official store linked to Rockstar Games, but a digital resale platform. It is common for sites to display provisional prices while awaiting official information. Large proprietary platforms like the PlayStation Store, the Microsoft Store or major brands like Amazon are generally the first to receive final pricing data. At this stage, Rockstar has not communicated any details on the economic model of GTA 6 or on the different planned editions.
GTA 6, a historic launch in preparation
Scheduled for November 19, 2026, GTA 6 promises to be one of the most important launches in video game history. The title is developed by Rockstar Games with the RAGE engine and will offer online multiplayer. Expectations are immense, and each piece of information, even partial, fuels the discussions. The slightest rumor around the price therefore takes on considerable proportions.
Towards a general increase in the prices of AAA games?
For several years, the video game industry has experienced progressive price inflation. The transition to the current generation of consoles has seen the emergence of games sold at 80 euros or dollars. If GTA 6 were to exceed this threshold, it could influence the entire market. However, without an official announcement from Rockstar, prices observed online should be viewed with caution. For now, we will have to wait for formal communication from the studio to know the exact price of the different editions of Grand Theft Auto 6.
