The price of Grand Theft Auto VI is uncertain but rumours continue to circulate over just how much cash we will have to hand over Rockstar and parent company Take-Two Interactive to secure the goods.
And the rumour mill shows no signs of slowing down any time soon as the days goes by and we slowly move towards that all important autumn release date and whether we get a second trailer before the date is announced.
In recent weeks, those who are considered somewhat to be experts and insiders in the gaming community have given their two cents on what the product will cost when it’s released towards the end of the year.

It’s not going to be cheap, some reckon, with a $100 price tag slapped on the product by those who know more than the average Joe.
One market leader said it would be a good thing if the price went up, with fans not convinced about this (quelle surprise).
Now a retailer in Switzerland has listed GTA 6 for preorder on their website, and it’s actually going to cost more, according to the listing.
Listed on reputable Swiss retailer Brack, the game is available to put in your basket right now for both PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
And the price? Well, in Switzerland they don’t use the Euro, with the Swiss Franc still doing the rounds.
Listed at 99 Swiss Francs, that comes in at around £87 for Brits buying the game in the UK.
For American gamers, you’re looking at a whopping $113 in a direct currency exchange. Well then.
Reaction to the potential price over on Reddit was mixed, as you can imagine. Those looking to buy it down in Australia converted the currency to see it would cost them $178 in Australian dollars.

One US gamer wrote on Reddit: “Nah $113 is crazy, I will still buy but damn I hope it’s fake.”
Another replied: “I don’t think it’s fake, my conspiracy is that Rockstar pushed the idea of 100 to the media to prepare buyers without being the ones to deliver a shock when revealing the price.”
Others said there was still hope it could lost less than the price listed on Brack, with placeholder presale prices historically resulting in partial refunds if the listed price falls by the time the product goes on general sale.

Michael Pachter, managing director of equity research at Wedbush Securities, last week said a brand new price point of $100 is on the cards. This was something Matthew Ball, a venture capitalise and analyst, also said in late 2024.
After producing a 220 slide report on the state of the gaming industry, he said it would be a positive thing as it could drive prices up for other studios and end a turbulent few years of job losses and studio closures.
