Rockstar Games’ highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) has been the subject of immense fan interest and speculation, ever since its 2025 release was announced last year.

According to recent rumors fueled by leaks, the development budget for the game has now crossed $2 billion. This astronomical amount has led gaming forums and social media to furiously debate whether GTA 6 could launch at an unprecedented $150.

The price chatter gained momentum when a known GTA 6 leaker revealed Rockstar’s massive spending on the title through the years-long development process. Several news sources also stated the budget has topped $1 billion.

While a $150 sticker for GTA 6 seems improbable to most fans, some feel Rockstar might push the pricing envelope given the visual upgrades and expansive world promised for the game.

The trailer unveiled at 2023’s E3 gaming expo confirmed GTA 6 will hit PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms in 2025. Whether the groundbreaking open-world franchise carries a record launch price remains to be seen.
