The price of GTA 6 has sparked a lot of debate. After Matthew Ball suggested that Rockstar and Take-Two might price the game at $100 to set a new standard, Michael Pachter, Managing Director at Wedbush Securities, echoed the idea.
In his latest research, Pachter predicts that GTA 6 could be priced at $100 or more, with the integration of GTA Online and in-game currency as possible incentives.
Pachter believes these elements would justify the price hike, similar to how Activision handled Call of Duty: Warzone.
“If Rockstar integrates GTA Online and offers incentives like in-game currency, the price increase could be more acceptable to buyers,” he said.
However, Pachter’s track record with predictions has been shaky. He’s made several high-profile misjudgments over the years, including misforecasting the release of GTA 5. His authority has also been questioned, with a low success ranking on TipRanks.
While GTA 6’s pricing remains uncertain, it’s best to take Pachter’s prediction with caution for now.
