British self-made millionaire, entrepreneur, and social media educator Mark Tilbury put out a video giving the most sound financial advice of 2026: buy GTA 6<\/a>. According to him, it\u2019ll save you a big chunk of change. <\/p>\n

\u201cGTA 6 costs $99.99,\u201d he said, going straight for the more expensive Ultimate Edition rather than the $80 standard edition (perhaps he, like many others, consider the Ultimate Edition and its extra contents to be the default version). \u201cIf it takes you 80 hours to complete, that\u2019s $1.25 per hour of fun. But once you add in side missions and explore the map, it\u2019s down to 50 cents an hour.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow let\u2019s say you play for four hours every evening, that\u2019s 50 nights of entertainment. Compare that to going out, where you could easily spend $100 in a single night. That\u2019s why buying GTA 6 actually saves you $5,000.\u201d<\/p>\n

@marktilbury<\/a> How GTA 6 Could Save You $5,000 #gta6<\/a> #game<\/a> #math<\/a> #price<\/a> \u266c original sound – Mark Tilbury<\/a> <\/p>\n

Obviously the video is tongue-in-cheek and not actual financial advice (who\u2019s going out 50 nights in a row and spending $100 a pop?). But it\u2019s actually a fair point on the value proposition of the game. An investment in your time, if you will. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s why publishers are reportedly hoping GTA 6 sets a new precedent on game pricing<\/a> \u2014 other companies will struggle to compete with its size and scale. It seems like the kind of game you could play for hundreds of hours, and that\u2019s before GTA Online even comes into the equation. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a 40yo gamer, don’t drink much, don’t smoke, don’t do drugs or go out with friends,\u201d said one commenter. \u201cThis is how I explain me gaming to people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStraight to mum,\u201d said another. \u201cRockstar paid a billion dollars for it, so it\u2019s a steal at the end of the day,\u201d said another mathematician. <\/p>\n

Tilbury is a businessman best known for his videos on frugal living. Despite being a millionaire, he reuses old cups, flies economy, wears the same rotation of clothes, and avoids luxury hotels. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got plenty more on GTA 6 while you wait for its November 19 release date, including an unlikely gameplay reveal in the latest episode of South Park<\/a>, how GTA 6 named one of its biggest mechanics after a beloved GTA 4 meme<\/a>, and how GTA 6’s map will open up relatively early and let you explore freely<\/a>.<\/p>\n
