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 debate, prompting a survey to gauge player willingness to pay this much for a base edition of Grand Theft Auto VI. The results surprised many: over one-third of nearly 7,000 respondents indicated they would pay $100 for the entry-level version, even amidst industry trends toward more expensive, expanded editions.

Ball's statement, which recently went viral, suggested that Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive could set a precedent for other publishers by adopting this pricing model.

Rockstar has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online will receive updates in 2025, bringing the PC version in line with the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions. While specifics remain undisclosed, the update likely extends beyond mere visual enhancements.

A potential expansion includes bringing the GTA+ subscription service, currently exclusive to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles, to PC players. Furthermore, certain features currently absent from the PC version of Grand Theft Auto Online, such as Hao's specialized high-speed vehicle modifications, may also be introduced. This suggests the possibility of extreme turbo-tuning becoming available on PC in the near future.
