Reports suggest that Rockstar Games’ parent company Take 2 Interactive is building GTA 6 on a budget of $2 billion. If true, this will be the most expensive game ever made and takes the entertainment industry a notch higher. If Rockstar Games builds GTA 6 with a $2 billion budget, they might price the game higher to recover. A higher-than-average price tag could be a reality as Rockstar Games will aim to reclaim its investments and profits quickly.

Speculations are rife that Rockstar Games will price GTA 6 at $150 per copy. While the price seems expensive, it could soon become the new normal. Why you may ask? Well, the recent trend of AAA games pricing their game has already started to become expensive. Pricing higher than average could soon become the norm if GTA 6 pushes its price to $150.
If that happens, several other AAA games will begin their price tag close to the $150 benchmark. The psychology is simple, if gamers can shell out $150 per game, they can as well afford to spend $130 for ‘our game’ too. There won’t be any reason for the price rise and AAA gaming firms can simply claim that building games is now expensive for the quality we offer, therefore is justified.
