Analyst Matthew Ball's controversial suggestion that a $100 price point for AAA titles could revitalize the gaming industry sparked a debate. To gauge player sentiment, a survey was conducted, revealing surprising results. Over one-third of nearly 7,000 respondents indicated willingness to pay $100 for a standard edition of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6, despite the industry trend towards more expensive, expanded editions.
Ball's assertion that Rockstar and Take-Two could spearhead this price increase, setting a precedent for other publishers, gained significant online traction.
Rockstar recently announced 2025 updates for Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, aiming to bring the PC version in line with the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions. While specifics remain undisclosed, the update likely encompasses more than just graphical enhancements.
The possibility of extending the GTA+ subscription service, currently exclusive to consoles, to PC players is high. Additionally, PC users may soon gain access to console-exclusive features like Hao's premium vehicle modifications, enabling extreme speed boosts. The introduction of this advanced turbo-tuning on PC seems increasingly probable.
