For a few weeks from the first trailer of Grand Theft Auto VI, or GTA 6, we are still a few days, at most a few weeks, from the release of the long-awaited game. Rockstar Games, the house behind the GTA series, has recently announced that the trailer for the new title will be released by early December – at the moment when the studio will celebrate its 25 years of activity - An even more discussed topic than the trailer itself is the price of GTA 6, according to some sources, will be significantly higher. This is because Rockstar had to invest in the most massive way ever in developing a video game, making the game extremely expensive to be produced. There is an incredible experience with advanced artificial intelligence for unplayable characters, a living city, water physics and very realistic destruction, a huge map, endless possibilities of "make it pay" and of course, cutting-edge graphics. All this deserves the right compensation from Rockstar. The current price of AAA games, such as the recently published Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, stands at most on the 1999 KRONA, but the price of GTA 6 could far exceed this figure. Trusted sources say that Rockstar is going to sell the game "full price" in the United States at $149.99, i.e. 3350 KRONA without taxes. With taxes, we could get to the Czech Republic about 4000 KRONA, probably 3999 KRONA. Compared to current AAA games, GTA 6 could be even the most expensive double. The big question is what the player will get for this figure. In the meantime, it is said that Rockstar has big plans with GTA 6 and in the coming years will want to expand it "modularly" both in singleplayer and multiplayer mode by adding new cities and locations, as well as objects, vehicles and so on. It could therefore be a value of 3999 KRONA for players to ensure access to all these content until the end of the support of this game, whose current status is only slightly better. The DLC for games are standardized and when many come out, the final price of the whole game can increase considerably. However, we can expect to know as soon as possible. VERDETTO: CRITICO Il prezzo di lancio di GTA 6, a 149.99 dollari negli Stati Uniti e 3999 KRONA in Repubblica Ceca, rappresenta un salto dimensionale rispetto agli standard del mercato AAA. Il raddoppio rispetto ai giochi attuali è una cifra spaventosa, soprattutto considerando l’impegno che Rockstar sta investendo nella “supporto continuo” fino alla fine del ciclo di vita del gioco tramite DLC modulari. Questa strategia, sebbene possa garantire un flusso di entrate a lungo termine, solleva legittimi dubbi sulla sostenibilità del prezzo base e sul valore offerto al giocatore nel breve periodo. L'idea di espandere il gioco "modularmente" negli anni a venire, con l’aggiunta di nuove città e contenuti, non fa altro che aumentare ulteriormente la potenziale spesa futura per un singolo titolo. Il rischio è quello di creare un modello di business basato su un costo iniziale elevatissimo, seguito da una serie di acquisti opzionali volti a mantenere vivo il gioco, potenzialmente sbilanciando l'esperienza originale e generando un senso di obbligo nei confronti del brand Rockstar.
