GTA 6 (Grand Theft Auto VI), a new concern has started to dominate fan discussions—its potentially steep price tag. While players have been eagerly speculating about release dates and gameplay features, many are now worried that GTA 6 could cost more than $100, and some believe Trump-era tariffs might be a contributing factor.
Leaked Listing Suggests $112 Price for GTA 6
The speculation began after a leaked listing from a Swiss retailer set the pre-order price for GTA 6 at $112 USD (around ₹9,600)—far above the current industry standard of $70 for next-gen games. Although the listing was swiftly removed, gamers shared screenshots across forums, sparking debate and concern.
Fans were quick to ask, What could be driving such a massive price jump? A growing number of community members point to the lingering effects of tariffs imposed during Donald Trump’s presidency, which increased the cost of imported goods—including tech hardware and software components used in game production.
How Tariffs Could Affect Game Prices
Though Rockstar Games has yet to comment on the leaked prices, many believe that Trump-era tariffs could raise production and distribution costs. Tariffs on electronics, packaging, and international shipping can drive up expenses for developers, who may then pass those costs on to consumers.
In a global industry already grappling with supply chain disruptions, even minor increases in production costs can lead to noticeable price hikes at retail.
Regional Price Leaks Raise More Questions
Adding fuel to the fire, other unconfirmed leaks suggest regional pricing for GTA 6 could vary dramatically:
- $114.99 USD in the United States
- £99.99 in the United Kingdom
- €104.99 in European countries
If accurate, this would make GTA 6 the most expensive standard edition of a mainstream title to date, nearly doubling the price fans paid for GTA 5 at launch.

Will the Price Be Worth It?
For now, there’s no official confirmation from Rockstar Games about GTA 6’s pricing. But if these leaks turn out to be true, fans will be expecting nothing short of a revolutionary gaming experience. With a higher price tag, the pressure is on Rockstar to justify the cost with cutting-edge gameplay, graphics, and storytelling.
Until the studio confirms the official price, fans are closely watching for updates—especially as questions linger over whether tariffs and global economic factors will permanently reshape how developers price games.
Bottom line: GTA 6 might come with a premium price, and if so, Rockstar will have to deliver a next-level experience to match. Stay tuned as more details unfold.
