More gamers are willing to pay a hundred dollars for GTA 6, how about you?

Analyst Matthew Ball's controversial assertion that a $100 price point for AAA games could revitalize the industry sparked a significant debate. This led to a poll gauging player willingness to pay $100 for a base edition of Grand Theft Auto VI.

Surprisingly, the results showed considerable acceptance. Over one-third of nearly 7,000 respondents indicated a willingness to pay this price for the basic version of Rockstar's upcoming sandbox title, even amidst Ubisoft's current practice of pushing extended editions.

Ball's statement, which recently gained widespread online attention, posited that a price increase to $100 could be a crucial step towards industry health, suggesting Rockstar and Take-Two could set a precedent for other publishers.

Rockstar has confirmed updates for Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online in 2025, bringing the PC version in line with the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions. While specifics remain scarce, these updates likely extend beyond simple visual enhancements.

A potential expansion includes bringing the GTA+ subscription service, currently exclusive to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, to PC players. Furthermore, certain features absent from the PC version of Grand Theft Auto Online, such as Hao's specialized car modifications allowing for extreme high-speed tuning, could finally arrive. The possibility of this extreme turbo-tuning becoming available on PC is strong.
