Perhaps there is no need to worry quite so much about how much Rockstar Games’ long-awaited game will cost.
The question of price has followed Grand Theft Auto VI for the past several years, ever since Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter suggested that players might have to pay as much as $100 for the game and it would still be successful. Several other analysts have mocked the idea since then, but with only days left until PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series preorders open on June 25, it emerged that the Portuguese branch of FNAC had listed the standard edition at €90. FNAC is a multinational retail chain operating in France, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, and numerous other markets.
A screenshot from the ResetEra forum shows several Rockstar Games product codes that list the exact release date of Grand Theft Auto VI as November 19. The image shows the standard edition, RS1, at €90; a more expensive version, RS4, at €120; and the most expensive version at €200, which is apparently the collector’s edition. RS2 and RS3 product codes are not visible in the image, but they would presumably fall between the RS1 and RS4 price tiers. Placeholders for Grand Theft Auto VI with different prices have appeared before. The proximity of these listings to the actual preorder date, and the fact that they come from a major retailer, could suggest that FNAC has accurate information after all.
If that were true, then Pachter would not have been all that wrong. A €90 retail price would match the price Nintendo charged last year for Mario Kart World, which shocked the industry, and it would not be far from the $100 he predicted more than a year ago. It should be clarified that Mario Kart World was €10 cheaper when purchased digitally. Hopefully, the same will be true for Grand Theft Auto VI.
Reliable insider billbil-kun, however, commented on Twitter that “It looks like many people, including Rockstar, are trying to disturb my holidays. Those SKUs are just placeholders because EAN codes, like UPCs in the U.S., do not belong to Take-Two’s traditional game prefixes, so those prices are random. Sorry, but without my PC, I cannot do much to find the real prices.”
We do not think it will be €90, though. Rockstar and Take-Two will make plenty of money from Grand Theft Auto Online anyway.
Looks like many people (including R*) are trying to disturb my holidays
Those SKUs are just placeholders bcz EAN codes (like UPC in US) aren’t belonging to Take2 traditional games prefixes
So those prices are random ones
