Rockstar will open GTA 6 pre-orders on June 25, and investors are watching the possible $80 price tag, new editions and another trailer.
Take-Two Interactive investors expect the base version of GTA 6 could cost $80. In their view, the price will be one of the main factors shaping the market reaction after pre-orders open. Rockstar has already announced that pre-orders begin on June 25, and Take-Two shares rose noticeably after the news, adding almost 5%.
According to analysts, the standard edition of GTA 6 may well come in above the familiar $70 level, although a $70 price has not been ruled out entirely. The market is also waiting for Deluxe and collector’s editions: if the base version stays relatively accessible, pricier bundles with bonuses could look much more tempting to the most dedicated fans.
Investors are also counting on a new GTA 6 trailer, which could arrive around the start of pre-orders. Rockstar last showed major materials for the game back in 2025, so interest in fresh footage remains high. Still, the company rarely follows the same playbook twice: GTA 5’s second trailer came after sales had already begun, while Red Dead Redemption 2’s third trailer appeared about a month before pre-orders opened.
Another point of intrigue is future monetization. Rockstar has not yet explained exactly how the new version of GTA Online will work or when it will detail the multiplayer side. That means premium editions could offer the first hints: for example, they might theoretically include in-game currency for a future online mode, though the bonuses may also be limited to the single-player campaign.
The market is still expecting a positive reaction. Analysts note that Red Dead Redemption 2 pre-orders once helped Take-Two shares rise significantly. If Rockstar confirms the price, shows a new trailer and presents its expensive editions well, GTA 6 could again become a powerful driver for the company’s market value.
