Grand Theft Auto 6 is actually the cheapest mainline game in the series when you adjust for inflation, although that really isn't as much of a reasonable argument as some think.
For a long time, the biggest question regarding GTA 6 was a simple, but very important one - how much was it going to cost? The price of triple-A games has been steadily rising over the past few years, with Nintendo notably introducing $80 games alongside the Switch 2 and causing a bunch of other publishers to see money bags.
Considering the insurmountable hype for GTA 6 and a rumoured development budget that would easily make it the most costly game in history, many feared Rockstar would slap a $100 price tag on it and make that the new norm for an already expensive industry. While that isn't the case, anyone who still thinks it's too expensive should consider the age-old money argument that doesn't really work - inflation.
Now that pre-orders have finally opened, we know that GTA 6's standard edition officially costs $80, which, while not as bad as most of us feared, still makes it the most expensive game in the series to date....
