The hype around Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) is growing, especially after a leaked release date and rumours of a $100 price tag surfaced online. While Rockstar Games has been radio silent since releasing the first trailer in December last year, a recent online store listing and industry analysis have fueled speculation.
Online Store Leak the GTA 6 Release Date
A Spanish retailer, XUruguay briefly listed GTA 6 with a release date of September 17, 2025. This date stands out because it would mark 12 years since GTA V launched and matches Rockstar’s previously confirmed “fall 2025” release window.
However, the listing was quickly taken down and GTA fans since then have been speculating on whether it was a legitimate leak or a dead end.
According to gaming news site 80 Level, XUruguay also claimed to have a connection with PlayStation, which added to the speculation. However, Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive have not officially confirmed any launch details.
Will GTA 6 Cost $100?
Another most talked about aspect related to GTA 6 has been the possible price increase. Industry analyst Matthew Ball recently suggested in his “State of Video Gaming in 2025” report that the game’s standard edition could cost $100.

He believes that because of GTA 6’s massive popularity, Take-Two Interactive might use this as an opportunity to raise the price of AAA games. The industry has already seen game prices go up—from $60 to $70 with the launch of next-gen consoles in 2020. But a jump to $100 would be a major leap.
With no official word from Rockstar yet, fans will have to wait and see if GTA 6 really does launch next September and whether they’ll need to shell out $100 to play it.
