GTA 6's Price Could Finally Be Revealed Soon, As Preorders Reportedly Begin Monday

"Grand Theft Auto 6 preorders are due to begin on Monday, May 18, according to emails being sent to Best Buy affiliate partners. The Cheap Ass Gamer account, a reputable page for all kinds of deals-related news for video games, received the email and shared the details online. The notice said preorders for GTA 6's physical edition, and for the campaign specifically, will begin on May 18."

"GTA 6 is expected to have an online mode, too, but it may not release until sometime after GTA 6 launches on November 19. If preorders do indeed begin on May 18, then Rockstar will presumably reveal GTA 6's price by then as well. That's been a heavily discussed topic, with a Bank of America stock analyst recently saying Rockstar should price the game at $80 to help drive up prices across the wider industry."

"Selling big new games for $70 is unsustainable and leading to all manner of negative effects in the gaming industry, analysts and researchers have said. Additionally, people are speculating that Rockstar may release a new GTA 6 trailer timed with preorders going live, but that's just speculation for now. There was also mounting speculation that GTA 6 Trailer 3 would be released this week, but that did not happen."

"The May 18 timing is conspicuous, given that Rockstar owner Take-Two will release its latest earnings report on Thursday, May 21, so it could be a very busy week for Rockstar, Take-Two, and GTA 6. GTA 6 launches November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a PC edition expected to follow later."

Preorders for the physical edition of Grand Theft Auto 6, including the campaign, are expected to start on May 18 based on emails sent to Best Buy affiliate partners. The game is also expected to include an online mode, which may launch after the November 19 release. Rockstar may reveal the game’s price around the preorder start date. Industry analysts have argued that $70 pricing is unsustainable and have suggested a $80 price point to influence broader market pricing. Speculation includes a new GTA 6 trailer timed with preorder availability, though no confirmation exists. Take-Two’s earnings report is scheduled for May 21, making the week potentially busy for related announcements. GTA 6 launches November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a PC release later.
