For reference, major game releases have been priced in the $60 – $70 range for more than a decade.Last month, Zelnick suggested that GTA 6) could be priced between $70 and $80 during an interview with The Game Business.
What Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said about GTA 6 pricing
As quoted in the report, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said: “If you look at it through that lens, that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. But that isn’t the lens through which we look. Instead, we look at… how do we deliver something amazing, and how do we make sure that what people pay for it feels very reasonable”.“What we think about is making the most spectacular piece of entertainment on Earth, in history – and it’s a pretty daunting challenge. If we do that, and if we’re of service to our customers, then the upside will take care of itself.”

During the conference, Zelnick also dropped hints for L.A. Noire fans waiting for a sequel.“Broadly, we’re looking at doing something in the future with all of our intellectual property,” he said, adding “There’s nothing to announce on L.A. Noire specifically, and if there were, it would be Rockstar announcing it, not me. But in any case, with regard to our legacy IP, the teams are always looking at what we have and we’re always thinking about it. The question is, at any given time, do we have a team that’s passionate about working on that?”
