What Is the GTA 6 Pricing Model?
How Rockstar plans to empty your wallet.
The Structure
STANDARD AAA
One-time purchase. No "Pay-Per-Hour".
Let's kill the biggest rumor first: GTA 6 will NOT be pay-per-hour. The CEO of Take-Two Interactive mentioned pricing games based on "value," but this was theoretical talk, not a product announcement.
GTA 6 will follow the traditional industry model: You pay once for the game (Story Mode + Online Access). However, the real money for Rockstar comes from the long-term "Live Service" elements in GTA Online.
