When GTA 5 launched back in 2013, it was priced at Rs 3,499 for PlayStation and Xbox users and was available for PC players for Rs 2,499. In contrast, GTA 6 is expected to carry a much higher price tag, reflecting the rising costs of game development. Reports suggest that the standard edition of GTA 6 may be priced at Rs 5,999 for the PlayStation 5 (PS5) and Xbox X/S. Some industry insiders also suggest that the game could have a gold or premium edition, which could be priced at Rs 7,299.

GTA 5 was released in 2013 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 users. Over the years, it has been made available for different platforms, including PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Recently, GTA 5 was also launched for PlayStation 5. However, GTA 6 will take a different approach, with Rockstar reportedly planning a late 2025 release for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

GTA 6 vs GTA 5: Other major changes

GTA V has three main protagonists: Michael De Santa, Franklin Clinton, and Trevor Phillips, which is a big change from earlier GTA games, where we mostly had one main character to play the game. However, GTA 6 is set to introduce a female protagonist, Lucia, alongside a male partner. This duo-driven narrative is expected to introduce new gameplay dynamics with interconnected stories.
