Nintendo has revealed how much games on Switch 2 will cost and it has GTA 6 fans worrying that Rockstar’s long-awaited title will cost a fortune.
For years now, fans have debated how much Rockstar Games will price GTA 6 at with some industry analysts predicting it will cost more than $100.
In fact, one expert even believes that a special edition of GTA 6 could set you back around $250.
Now, with prices of Switch 2 games being revealed, Grand Theft Auto fans are fearing what this could mean for GTA VI’s Fall release and how much they’ll be spending.
GTA 6 fans fear Switch 2 game costs open door for $100 price tag
As reported by Insider-Gaming, Mario Kart: World on Switch 2 will cost users 90 euros for a physical version and 80 for a digital copy.
Meanwhile, Nintendo of America lists Mario Kart: World as having a suggested retail price of $80.
GTA 6 fans have already taken this as a worrying indication that Rockstar will price their upcoming juggernaut similarly.
And yeah now I'm convinced GTA 6 will be $100 and this pricing (if true) will become the new norm of the games industry.
Fuck.

YouTuber LegacyKillaHD took this report as a good sign that GTA 6 won’t come cheap or at a standard price for PS5 and Xbox Series X titles.
“And yeah now I’m convinced GTA 6 will be $100 and this pricing (if true) will become the new norm of the games industry,” he said.
Others agreed, but felt that Rockstar could even get away with selling GTA VI for even more due to the game’s unparalleled demand.
“Let’s be honest, there is no price tag GTA6 will be at that people won’t buy it at,” one user predicted.
“They can release an early access bundle for $200 and I guarantee it will sell millions,” another chimed in.
“Nintendo can get away with sh*t like that with no backlash, I’m fully prepared for gta 6 at $100 now,” someone else remarked.
We’ll have to wait and see exactly what Rockstar has planned for GTA 6’s release. As for when that will be, the studio’s boss, Strauss Zelnick, claims they’re keeping information a secret until they’re “relatively close to the release window” before going on a marketing blitz.
