Grand Theft Auto 6 will launch at $80 for base game, $100 for Ultimate Edition

Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto 6 are finally going live ahead of the game's November launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. There has been much debate around the potential cost of the game, with some estimates going as high as $120. GTA 6 will be more expensive than a typical AAA game, but not by much. 

Grand Theft Auto 6 will officially be priced at $79.99, making it the first game to go even further beyond the $70 price point set by Sony and other publishers at the start of the current console generation. The Ultimate Edition for GTA 6 is only $20 more, a move likely done intentionally to convince more people to buy the edition with extra content. Chances are, the Ultimate Edition will sell very well even at this price tag.

Rockstar has also so far only focused on the single-player experience in all of its marketing. This might indicate that GTA Online won't be available at launch, and Rockstar may even go as far as giving it its own price tag as a standalone purchase and not including it with the single-player game at all. That's all just speculation for now, but there are big financial pressures on GTA 6 to deliver, and selling GTA Online as an extra purchase would help them meet those goals pretty quickly.
