Let’s face it,Red Dead Redemption 2was a masterpiece when it first launched. Even six years after its launch, the game is still held in high regard today. With the launch ofGTA 6just a few months away, fans can barely keep it together thanks to their expectation for what looks like Rockstar Games’ magnum opus.

WhileGTA 6might end up being Rockstar Games’ most successful productGTA V, there has been some concern regarding the price tag. There is good reason to believe thatGTA 6may be priced at around $100 considering the cost of production. This may alarm players but unlike most high price tags, this one may be totally justified.

WhyGTA 6could redefine open-world gaming

Rockstar Games arguably has the most detailed environments in all of gaming. From simple details like hostile NPCs in rival gang locations to entire body decomposition mechanics, they’ve done it all.GTA 6isn’t going to be any different. This time, the series will be returning to the iconic Vice City which is a fictional version of the City of Miami.

However,the city is going to be significantly largercompared to the last game set in it. This isn’t the only feature that’s fascinating to fans of the franchise though. The immense detailing that is so evident from the trailers has given fans major expectations forGTA 6.

Even without their impeccable attention to detail, the genius of theGTAfranchise lies in its writing. The many in-game radio stations, TV shows, websites, side quests, and other features are all examples of this. In general, mostGTAgames are known to satirize trending social and political issues quite heavily. However, there isa growing belief thatGTA 6may not be as satirical as its predecessorsdue to the current political landscape.

Regardless of the doubts,GTA 6is primed to have one of the biggest launches in the history of gaming. Yet, all is not as it seems as the pricing forGTA 6may range from $70-$100according to reports from Video Games Chronicles.

WhyGTA 6’s massive price tag could be justified

The $100 price tag forGTA 6may seem a bit excessive at first glance, but this might be one of the few cases where it might be warranted.With development costs close to around $2 billion, Rockstar is creating what could be the most ambitious game in history. The sheer scale ofGTA 6’s Vice City, combined with Rockstar’s attention to detail, could create what could be one of the greatest games of all time!

Furthermore, the price reflects the rising costs of producing AAA titles. Taking a look atGTA Onlineshows how heavily Rockstar Games and Take-Two have depended on microtransactions to stay profitable. With a higher upfront price forGTA 6, the developers may use such tactics a lot less going forward and give all players a proper play-to-win experience. If Rockstar delivers on fans’ expectations forGTA 6, this price could represent not just a game but a new benchmark in the industry.
