GTA 6 And These Other Games Can Justify An $80 Price, Expert Says
Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 6 finally releases on November 19, and you'll have to pay at least $80 for it. That's a full $20 more than what GTA 5 cost in 2013 and $10 more than many other big AAA games today. Is $80 going to become the "new normal" for AAA games, or is it, along with Nintendo's Mario Kart World and Tears of the Kingdom for Switch 2, an outlier at $80?According to Alinea Analytics researcher Rhys Elliott, $80 won't be an across-the-board new price for all games.

Xbox Says Putting Ads In Games, Something No One Likes, Could Help Save Gaming
