So, here we go. Imagine you’re sitting at a sticky diner counter, and we’re just chatting over some coffee. Speaking of which, this cup is way too strong, but maybe that’s why these thoughts are racing through my head.
Grand Theft Auto 6, right? Everyone’s buzzing about it. And let me tell you, I tried poking around for the price — just like everyone else. But surprise, surprise, no one’s spilling the beans. The big cheese at Take-Two, Strauss Zelnick, was chitchatting with Variety and basically hit us with, “We’re about value, folks.” I don’t know about you, but when someone says they’ll “deliver more value than what we charge,” my wallet cringes.
While chatting away, Zelnick waved his hand at the currently monstrous sales of GTA 5 (we’re talking 215 million copies!). It’s like everyone and their cat owns a copy. And the whole franchise? Nearly 455 million copies sold. That’s wild!
Here’s the funny thing — or is it frustrating? — he wouldn’t put a number on GTA 6. Nope. Nada. Even though everyone’s whispering in alleys about it possibly costing $80 or $100. And honestly, with today’s prices for anything, nothing surprises me anymore. Maybe tomorrow my coffee will be $10. Who knows. Zelnick hinted at some pricing mumbo jumbo, like starting high and then dropping. The ol’ “special editions” lure. Classic.
What we did get, though, which still makes me laugh, are two trailers. The first one got like, 93 million eyeballs glued to it in one day. Then the next one smashed that with 475 million views. Yeah, you read that right. My brain can barely handle those numbers.
And hey, if you’re counting days like a kid unwrapping an advent calendar, mark May 26, 2026. That’s when GTA 6 hits PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Crazy far off, but it’ll be here before you know it. Anyway — wait, where was I? Oh yeah, more coffee.
