In a recent analysis, Matthew Ball, an industry expert, suggested that if Rockstar and Take-Two were to set a new pricing standard for AAA games at $100, it could potentially save the gaming industry. This bold claim led to a survey where players were asked if they would be willing to pay $100 for the entry-level edition of Grand Theft Auto 6. Surprisingly, over one-third of the nearly 7,000 respondents indicated they would be comfortable paying this price for the basic version of Rockstar's new sandbox game, despite Ubisoft's recent trend of requiring players to buy extended editions of their titles.

Matthew Ball's statement quickly spread across the internet, asserting that if game publishers began selling their titles at $100, it could be a lifeline for the industry. He believes that Rockstar and Take-Two could lead the way, setting a precedent for other companies to follow.

Rockstar has announced that Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online will receive updates in 2025, aligning the PC version with the PS5 and Xbox Series versions. While specifics remain under wraps, it's anticipated that these updates will go beyond mere visual enhancements.

Currently exclusive to PS5 and Xbox Series, the GTA+ subscription might soon become available to PC gamers. Additionally, certain features from the console version of Grand Theft Auto Online, such as Hao's exclusive car modifications that allow vehicles to reach incredibly high speeds, are not yet available on PC. There's a strong possibility that these extreme turbo-tuning options will soon be accessible on the PC platform as well.
