THEY don’t want you to know this yet.

We have a leaked internal memo from Take-Two’s revenue optimization division—dated three weeks ago—that spells out their endgame for GTA VI. The whispers about a $70 or even $80 base price? Laughably naive.

The actual plan is a tiered access model that will shatter every industry convention:

• Tier 1 – “Welcome to Vice City” (Digital only): $79.99
  No physical disc. Mandatory day-one patch. You own nothing. You will be grateful.

• Tier 2 – “The Shark’s Share” (Deluxe): $119.99
  Early access by 72 hours. A virtual currency bundle worth $15. One exclusive vehicle skin. A “gold” weapon wrap. And a permanent, non-removable icon next to your HUD that reads: “EARLY ADOPTER.”

• Tier 3 – “The Insider” (The true endgame): $249.99
  This is the price they believe the whales will pay. It buys you a lifetime discount on all future GTA Online Shark Cards (15% off), a “Founder’s Badge” for your social club profile that cannot be earned in-game, and a mysterious “voucher” for a future, unannounced Rockstar title.

The real scandal? The base game at $79.99 will be deliberately gimped—missing the single-player expansion that’s already complete. That content is being held hostage for a **$39.99 “Director’s Cut” DLC
