GTA 6 might not technically be $100, but it's had its cake and ate it too as pre-orders are 'skewing more to the premium edition'

GTA 6's pricing has been a point of contention before its reveal, with rumors circulating about the game potentially costing $100. Despite this, the game features both an $80 and $100 version, with the latter offering additional content and premium features. Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick revealed in a CNBC interview that pre-orders are skewing more towards the premium edition, but the company is unlikely to lower the game's price point.

This situation seems to have allowed Take-Two to effectively charge $90 for the pre-order price, with most gamers being more inclined to pay extra for the enhanced version. While $100 may seem like a lot to spend on a video game, the development costs of big-budget titles like GTA 6 have surpassed inflation, making the price more justified.
