Rumors about the launch price of Grand Theft Auto VI have gained attention again after an online retailer briefly displayed a higher-than-expected figure for the upcoming release. While the listing has circulated widely across gaming forums and social media, Rockstar Games has not confirmed any official pricing details so far. As a result, the numbers currently being discussed should be viewed as unverified.
The product page, spotted on retailer Loaded, showed Grand Theft Auto VI listed at approximately £89.99 for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S versions. The same retailer page also included a separate PC listing priced around £60.99. This is notable because Rockstar has not officially confirmed a PC version launching alongside consoles. Both entries were marked with a notification option rather than an active preorder button, suggesting the prices may be placeholders used for internal system preparation rather than confirmed retail figures.
Retailers commonly upload estimated prices in advance of major announcements. These early figures help prepare preorder systems or measure consumer interest before publishers finalize details. Since neither Rockstar nor its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, has announced pricing, it is possible the amounts shown were provisional. Placeholder pricing is not unusual for large-scale titles that generate significant early traffic.
Discussion around a potential price increase has been ongoing for months. Development budgets for modern open-world projects continue to rise due to more detailed environments, advanced rendering technologies, expanded voice acting, and long-term online support. Some industry observers believe a major release like Grand Theft Auto VI could push beyond the current standard £69.99 price point if publishers decide to adjust for production costs.
However, Rockstar’s previous major releases launched within traditional AAA pricing ranges, later expanding revenue through online modes and additional content. Until official confirmation is provided, the reported figures remain speculative. Grand Theft Auto VI is now scheduled for release in November 2026 after an earlier delay from its previously expected May launch window. With no official preorder date or pricing announcement yet, further details are likely to come directly from Rockstar in the months ahead.
