Like its fans, GTA 6 has also had quite an effect on the industry as a whole, with developers and publishers reportedly worried about the game’s effects on other releases. Some titles have reportedly even been pushed back so as not to compete with Rockstar’s impending juggernaut. The ramifications GTA 6 could have on the industry could also be felt in the price of the games themselves. Analysts theorize Rockstar’s new game could make a turning point when it comes to the cost of video games, claiming GTA 6 could be priced at up to $100.
As stated earlier, the official release date for GTA 6 is still unknown. Rumors have suggested the game could be delayed until 2026, though a recent fling from Rockstar’s parent company, Take-Two Interactive, seems to still point toward a 2025 release. Regardless of when it finally comes out, Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to be one of the biggest moments in the video game industry, building off the success and acclaim of previous entries, like 2013’s GTA 5 and 2008’s GTA 4.
