Man, this whole Grand Theft Auto 6 thing is a mystery wrapped in an enigma, huh? So I was digging into this interview with Take-Two’s big cheese—Strauss Zelnick’s the name, if you’re curious—and he kinda danced around the whole “how much will it cost?” question. I don’t know why, but whenever these execs start talking, I imagine them literally dodging, like a basketball player swerving past questions. Especially when they’re all about, “we wanna give more value than what we charge.” Honestly though, I’m still trying to figure out what that even means. Like, hmm.
Anyway—no, wait, what was I saying? Oh right, so Take-Two’s showing off its trophy case. That GTA 5, I swear, it’s like a beast that just won’t quit. Over 215 million copies? That number’s wild. Makes you wonder if we’ll still be talking about it when we all start wearing jetpacks. And the whole franchise — nearly 455 million sales? It’s a behemoth, end of story.
Zelnick, by the way, is definitely aware of our chatter about game prices going sky-high. Rumors are flying—like, could GTA 6 hit $80 or even $100? Feels almost like gossip at a family barbecue. He doesn’t lock anything down on the price. Why would he? Games drop with fancy editions and all, then prices slide down eventually. Seems like a thing they might do here too. Who knows? Shrug emoji, right?
And then there’s Rockstar. They’re all cloak-and-dagger, not spilling the beans on the cost yet. But they did drop two trailers. The first one grabbed 93 million eyeballs in a day. Mad, right? Then the next one? A staggering 475 million views like, bam! Guess people just can’t get enough. I mean, I watched them, maybe a dozen times. Maybe more. Who’s counting?
Circle the date though, May 26, 2026—oh yeah, it’s gonna be on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, if you’re keeping tabs. Gah, feels like it’s eons away. Can’t wait, but also trying not to think about waiting.
