Grand Theft: GTA 6 may cost Rs 9,000 in India, not Rs 5,999 as expected earlier
According to reports, developer Rockstar spent over a billion on the game, making it the most expensive video game ever made. However, Rockstar did not confirm the price tag.
Especially at Rs 9,000, it will be much more expensive than the expected global retail price of between $80 and $100. After regional adjustments and taxes, this could mean a significant increase for Indian players.
Earlier reports had stated that the Standard Edition of GTA 6 might be priced around ₹ 5999 in India.
GTA 6 Expectations
Grand Theft Auto (GTA) remains one of the most iconic and longest-running video game franchises, first introduced in 1997. Over the years, the series has redefined the open-world gaming experience by providing players with vast, immersive worlds full of both legal and illegal adventures. The last major installment, GTA 5, was released in 2014 and kept fans eagerly awaiting the next installment for over a decade. Now GTA 6 stands as one of the most anticipated games of 2026.
Although GTA 5 and GTA 6 are not traditional e-sports games, their immense popularity among streamers and online content creators continues to grow. GTA 5’s role-playing (RP) servers have become a huge hit on streaming platforms like Twitch and YouTube, where players take on unique personas from bank robbers to police officers and create dynamic, player-driven stories. GTA 6 is expected to build on this momentum, potentially setting new trends in gaming content and further increasing streaming viewing and engagement in esports communities.
The game is said to offer a stunning open world experience. Leaks suggest that Lucia will be the protagonist alongside Jason. Vice City is expected to be the setting for this tale of crime and corruption.
Leaks claim that more than half of the buildings in the game will be enterable. Vehicle handling is expected to be more realistic. NPCs are said to dynamically react to players’ actions.
Other expected features include an in-game social media system, advanced AI interactions, and relationship mechanics between the two lead characters.
The franchise has a significant following. Expectations are very high given Rockstar’s established track record.
Rockstar is expected to announce the official price of the game close to the release date, which is set as May 26, 2026. GTA 6 will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, but the PC version will not be available on launch date.
