In the past, analyst Matthew Ball suggested that if Rockstar and Take-Two were to set new pricing standards for AAA games, it could potentially save the gaming industry. This sparked a discussion among players about their willingness to pay $100 for the entry-level edition of Grand Theft Auto 6. Surprisingly, a significant number of gamers are open to this idea. A recent survey revealed that over one-third of nearly 7,000 respondents would be willing to pay for the basic version of the new sandbox game from Rockstar, despite Ubisoft's trend of pushing players towards extended editions of their games.

Not long ago, Matthew Ball's statement went viral online, proposing that if game publishers started selling their titles for $100, it could be a lifeline for the industry. He believes that Rockstar and Take-Two could lead the way in setting this new pricing 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 specific details are scarce, it's expected that these updates will go beyond mere visual enhancements.
Currently exclusive to PS5 and Xbox Series users, the GTA+ subscription might soon be extended 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 achieve extremely high speeds, are not yet available on PC. There is a strong possibility that these extreme turbo-tuning options will soon be accessible on PC as well.
