Rockstar said GTA 6 costs $79.99 across PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, confirming a $10 jump from the standard $70 we’ve seen this generation. The Ultimate Edition, meanwhile, is $20 more, priced $99.99.
GTA 6 physical copies do not include a disc, Rockstar has confirmed. They’re just a code in a box
If game prices had adjusted for inflation, we’d be paying 250-300 for one now.
That doesn’t mean it isn’t just greed especially in this case (from what I heard some pretty basic features like car customization are locked behind the “ultimate edition”), but in general it’s more of a miracle (and result of the massive market growth combined with no unit cost) that game prices have ignored inflation for this long.
Always gotta be someone to white knight.
Won’t someone think of the poor companies, they are making record profits…but we should be paying more because they’re not making enough record profits! because we should be paying more due to inflashun! arent they so kind to only charge us 80-100 dollars!
Reading comprehension, how does it work?
I literally said that in this case it’s almost certainly just because they know they can get away with it and make more money
