What we know about the prize
Speaking at the Interactive Innovation Conference on April 28, Zelnick suggested that GTA 6 will not carry an extremely high price tag. However, the rumors said that it could cost $100 or more. Instead, he said that it will be reasonable, “Consumers pay for the value that you bring to them, and our job is to charge way way way less of the value delivery,” according to IGN.
He added, “How you feel about something you buy is the intersection of the thing itself and what you pay for. Consumers need to feel like the thing itself is amazing and the price they were charged was fair for what they got.”
Zelnick said that even though prices of most things have gone up over time, video game prices have mostly stayed the same at around $60–$70. “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.”
He also emphasized that their goal is to create a standout experience, saying, “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.”
