Viral Snippet: GTA 6 Price Will Be Historic – But Not for the Reason You Think

Status: FAKE (with a kernel of truth)

The Rumor: Social media is buzzing with claims that Rockstar Games will charge a “revolutionary” price of $100 for the standard edition of Grand Theft Auto VI, citing “inflation” and “the most expensive game ever made” as justification. Memes showing a leaked in-game bank screen reading “Price of game: $99.99” are spreading like wildfire.

The Reality: Rockstar has not confirmed any price. However, take-two interactive (rockstar’s parent company) CEO Strauss Zelnick did say in a 2023 earnings call that “we don’t see resistance to pricing” and that “we deliver huge value.” This carefully phrased non-denial has been twisted by clickbait accounts. While a $100 AAA game is not impossible (and actually aligns with recent industry trends for deluxe editions), no official retailer listing or insider leak has verified a flat $100 base price for GTA 6. The current official price remains unannounced, and pre-orders are not yet open. Bottom line: Expect an increase, but the $100 base price is still a rumor until rockstar says so. Ignore the memes, but maybe save some extra cash just in case.
