GTA 6 Expected To Be Rockstar’s Most Expensive Game Yet: Here's What It'll Cost You Around The World

One of the biggest takeaways from recent leaks is the steep expected pricing of GTA 6.

GTA 6: As the gaming world holds its collective breath for the release of Grand Theft Auto VI, fresh leaks are giving us more than just a glimpse into gameplay — this time, it’s the price tag that’s making headlines. GTA 6, slated to be one of 2025’s most high-profile launches, may also go down as one of the priciest titles in Rockstar’s history.

Hefty Price Tags Across the Globe

One of the biggest takeaways from recent leaks is the steep expected pricing of GTA 6. In India, the base version is tipped to cost around Rs 5,999, while the premium special editions may climb as high as Rs 7,299. And for die-hard fans, a rumoured Collector’s Edition could hit over Rs 20,000, pushing the price into next-gen console territory.

Gamers in the United States can expect to shell out between $70 and $100, depending on the edition. In Canada, the price could rise to around CAD 120, while Dubai players may have to fork over AED 350–370 for the standard release. A now-deleted listing on a Swiss retailer’s site showed a price of 99 Swiss Francs (approximately Rs 10,000), reinforcing the idea that GTA 6 will not come cheap.

Release Timeline: Console First, PC Later

If leaks are accurate, GTA 6 will launch on September 17, 2025, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. PC gamers may be in for a longer wait, with a 2026 release on the cards. Rockstar is yet to confirm the timeline officially, but the leaked date is already making waves among fans and industry insiders.

What’s Under the Hood: PC Specs Leaked

Early information also reveals what kind of horsepower you’ll need to run the game on PC. At a minimum, players will need:

  • OS: Windows 11
  • CPU: Intel Core i5-9600K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600
  • RAM: 16GB
  • GPU: RTX 3060 or RX 6600XT
  • Storage: 150GB SSD

Recommended specifications push it even further, requiring an Intel Core i9-10900K or Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, and RTX 3080 or RX 6800XT — alongside DirectStorage support. Features like ray tracing, DLSS/FSR, and advanced physics are expected to elevate the experience.

Gameplay, Map, And What’s New

GTA 6 will reportedly feature dual protagonists, including the franchise’s first female lead, Lucia. Rockstar is also planning major upgrades to the Wanted system, police AI, and stealth mechanics.

The setting is a return to Vice City, now part of a larger fictional state called Leonida, inspired by Florida. Leaks point to an expansive map with beaches, swamps, bustling urban hubs, and smaller towns — potentially the most ambitious GTA map yet.

And there may be more to come. A second official trailer is rumoured to be on the horizon, which could finally give fans a deeper look at the plot and gameplay.

For now, all eyes are on Rockstar Games, as gamers worldwide brace themselves — not just for the action-packed world of Leonida, but also for the price of admission.
