Rockstar Games announced on Wednesday that GTA VI price would be $10 higher than the norm for high-end titles, at $79.99 in the US, with an "Ultimate" edition offering bonus content like weapons and vehicles sold for $99.99. Take-Two said earlier this month "GTA VI" pre-orders will start on June 25. All pre-orders before November ⁠20 include the Vintage Vice City Pack of retro in-game items, with digital buyers also getting a free month of GTA+, a membership that unlocks in-game perks and access to "GTA V" and other titles.

On track to outsell any other cultural product this year -- or in recorded history -- the new title has fans salivating after a 13-year wait, prompting competing publishers to clear their schedules around the release date.Multiple sources have estimated the game's development costs at $1 to $2 billion, making it the most expensive entertainment product in history -- topping any film ever shot. Developers have been building "GTA VI" for more than six years.GTA VI Real Location"GTA VI" will be set in a world inspired by Miami and the surrounding state of Florida -- already the backdrop for 2002's instalment "Vice City". The two protagonists, Jason and Lucia, appear at least loosely inspired by the real-life American outlaw couple Bonnie and Clyde, who have already been the stuff of movies and TV series.The price makes "GTA VI" one of the most expensive base versions of a top-tier game, pushing it above the $69.99 ceiling that blockbusters ‌such as Sony's "Ghost ⁠of ⁠Yōtei" and Nintendo's "Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" have held for years.The "Ultimate Edition" of ​the game will cost $99.99 and add exclusive vehicles, weapons and apparel woven into the ​story of Jason and Lucia, the protagonists of the game, Take-Two said.Fans have been waiting ​for "GTA VI" for over a decade, and analysts ⁠expect it ‌to be an instant hit with billions of dollars ​in sales ​within days due to the franchise's popularity and the ⁠strong track record of its creator, Rockstar Games.The previous ​entry in the series, "Grand Theft Auto V", was released ​in 2013 and has sold around 230 million copies, making it one of the best-selling video games ever.That makes "GTA VI" crucial not just for Take-Two but for the wider video-game market, as the franchise typically drives console sales and PC upgrades. Industry watcher Newzoo said last year that ‌the delay in the title's release weighed on the market's growth.First unveiled in late 2023 with a trailer that now has nearly 300 million views on YouTube, the game features a "Bonnie and Clyde"-like duo blitzing their way through a fictional version of Miami, Florida, called "Vice City".
