£80, £90, £100? How much will Grand Theft Auto 6 cost? We ask the experts ahead of pre-orders opening this week
Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders open on June 25th, 2026, ahead of the game’s November release on consoles. While Rockstar Games has not officially announced pricing, speculation around the cost point has intensified following earlier reports suggesting a potential $100 retail price. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick previously discussed the game’s pricing strategy, fueling debate about whether GTA 6 will push next-generation console game pricing to new heights.
However, eager fans rushing to secure the game should be cautious: cybersecurity firm Malwarebytes has warned of an emerging wave of scam websites already targeting GTA 6 buyers. These fraudulent sites falsely promise “VIP early access” to the game in exchange for a few hundred dollars paid in cryptocurrency—a classic advance-fee scam. With official pre-orders just days away and no PC release date yet announced, the scammers are capitalizing on anticipation to defraud unsuspecting players.
