GTA 6 Price Controversy Sparks Up Again — Fans Joke: “Even at €431.59, We’re Buying It”

The GTA 6 hype train doesn’t slow down — if anything, it keeps swerving into brand-new chaos. Rockstar hasn’t even announced the official price yet, but gamers are already chewing each other out online over rumors claiming the game might cost way more than your usual blockbuster release.

And with the game pushed back from May 2026 to November 2026 for extra polishing, the debate has only gotten louder.

The rumored price floating around? A spicy €86.32.

And the moment Lester’s actor from GTA 5 — Jay Klaitz — stepped into the conversation, the internet lost its mind. Speaking with The Escapist, he was asked whether GTA 6 could be the first game to “deserve” that €86.32 price tag.

His response?

“Yeah, dude… these games take years and years and years.”

And boom — the fire started.

GTA 6’s €86.32 Price Tag Debate Rages On

Reddit lit up instantly. A post by user Fun_Philosopher_2535 questioned why an actor would defend a high price before even seeing the final product.

Their point was simple: if the game is truly legendary, the sales will prove it — just like the unstoppable numbers behind GTA 5 (200 million copies) and Red Dead Redemption 2 (80 million).

Meanwhile, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick didn’t help calm the waters. In a chat with Variety,

He said:

“Our goal is always to deliver more value than what we charge.”

Classic CEO talk — calm voice, chaos vibes. No confirmation. No denial. Just room for speculation.

Players, understandably? Terrified.

A recent study found that gamers dread the idea of AAA titles jumping to that €86.32 benchmark. And in Reddit comments, many insist GTA 6 shouldn’t cross the €60.42 line.

User acexualien95 summed it up perfectly:

“They will make billions anyway… stop letting them raise prices.”

But on the other side of the battlefield?

Absolute madness.

On Twitter (or X, if you’re fancy), some fans insist they’re ready to pay €86.32, €103.58, even €431.59. One user even argued that since Mario Kart World is priced at €69.05, GTA 6 deserves an even higher tag.

Gamers can be dramatic. And honestly? We love it.

GTA 6 Could Cost More Than The Standard Price

At the end of the day, Rockstar is keeping their cards close. The price could land anywhere — maybe €60.42, maybe €69.05, maybe that dreaded €86.32. History suggests Rockstar likes to go big but eventually drops great discounts years after release.

And if GTA 6 performs anything like GTA 5?

Players will probably buy it again.

And again.

And again.

Across consoles, across generations, across random sales when everyone buys it “just to have it digitally this time.”

Whatever the final price is, one thing’s clear:

GTA 6 is already shaping up to change the gaming landscape in 2026 — with or without the €431.59 meme crowd.
