GTA VI Price Talk<\/p>\n
Starting with an update on GTA VI, Zelnick discussed the price point of the game with Variety<\/a>. He said \u201cOur goal always is to deliver more value than what we charge, so we\u2019ve had variable pricing at the company forever. As you know, the approach of the industry is to launch at a premium price, sometimes with special editions, and over time, typically to reduce the price to enhance the overall size of the market. We do the very same thing. I think, probably more than most, we\u2019re highly focused on making sure that the experience is great, not just because the game itself is great, but also because consumers have paid a fair price for it.\u201d<\/p>\n Does this indicate we might see a higher than $70 for GTA VI next year? It is up for interpretation. We\u2019ll find out closer to launch what Take-Two and Rockstar are planning.<\/p>\n Grand Theft Auto V Sales Slow<\/p>\n Take-Two Interactive have revealed that Grand Theft Auto V has not surpassed 220 million copies liek expected. It hit 215m in May<\/a> and has not progressed to 220m yet. Grand Theft Auto V normally sells an average of 5 million every month.<\/p>\n However, the total sales of the Grand Theft Auto series is now at nearly 455 million copies worldwide, up 5 million in the past 3 months. This is inline with the average quarter.<\/p>\n Zelnick said on the call to investors that the GTA series exceeded expectations last quarter. He stated there is momentum that is exceptionally strong. The games benefited from higher engagement thanks to the release of the second GTA 6 trailer and GTA Online\u2019s Money Fronts<\/a> update.<\/p>\n GTA Online saw \u201chigher than expected recurring spending\u201d which means Shark Cards and GTA+ purchases were higher. In terms of new GTA Online players, it saw a 50% increase year-on-year. GTA Online revenue is up single digits.<\/p>\n Red Dead Redemption 2 hits 70m copies sold<\/p>\n Red Dead Redemption 2 sold an extra three million copies in the last 3 months. This means Red Dead Redemption 2 has now sold over 77 million copies worldwide, up from 74 million in May<\/a>. In total, the Red Dead Series has now sold over 104 million copies, up from 100 million last time.<\/p>\n The game was the most downloaded PS4 game<\/a> for the past five months in a row this year. The continued sales success does not come as much of a surprise given the PlayStation charts over the past few months.<\/p>\n For more news on GTA and Red Dead, stay tuned to RockstarINTEL<\/a> and sign up<\/a>\u00a0to our newsletter for a weekly round-up of all things Rockstar Games.<\/p>\n Subscribe to our newsletter!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\ud83d\udd0a Listen to this A few months on from the GTA 6 delay and release of trailer 2,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":51926,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59,28748,28749,1175,210,28750,28751,50,28752,28753,762,86,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-51925","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-gb","9":"tag-grand-theft-auto-6","10":"tag-grand-theft-auto-vi","11":"tag-gta","12":"tag-gta-6","13":"tag-gta-v","14":"tag-gta-vi","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-rdr2","17":"tag-red-dead","18":"tag-rockstar-games","19":"tag-technology","20":"tag-uk","21":"tag-united-kingdom","22":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51925"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51925\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Rockstar_Games_Red_Dead_Redemption_Red_Dead_Redemption_2_video_games_western_cowboys_Arthur_Morgan_b.jpeg\")
