Some new comments from Rockstar Games’ parent company, Take-Two Interactive, have PS5 and Xbox Series X players looking forward to GTA 6 a little worried and holding their wallets tight. On PS5 and Xbox Series X, some games cost $ 70. On PS4 and Xbox One, games never surpassed the $ 60 price we’ve had for over a decade. And some games still cost $ 60, but publishers are slowly moving towards the $ 70 price tag. Last year, Take-Two Interactive charged $ 70 for NBA 2K21 on PS5 and Xbox Series X. And now it sounds like it could charge $ 70 for more games in the future Grand Theft Auto fans wary.
As you might expect, there has been some backlash in some games’ price hike, but apparently not enough. At the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference this month, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick revealed that Take-Two believes consumers are ready for the increase.
“We announced a price of $ 70 for NBA 2K21, and our view was that we offer a range of extraordinary experiences, lots of replayability, and the last time there was a front-line price hike in the US was 2005, 2006, so we think consumers were ready, ”said the DIRECTOR.
Fortunately for that Grand Theft Auto fans, Zelnick followed this up by noting that he and his team don’t think every game will be this prize, as not every game justifies the raise; however, it sounds like the biggest games will all make this leap.
“We haven’t said anything about the pricing of other titles so far, and we tend to make announcements title by title, but I think our vision is to always deliver more value.”
At the same conference, Zelnick also – finally – addressed the rumors and speculations of GTA 6but unsurprisingly, his answer was not very revealing.
