GTA 6 LIVE: Release and trailer 2 details revealed by Take-Two CEO

'I can totally see $80 for GTA 6 happening'

A number of prominent X / Twitter accounts that regularly post about GTA 6 and Rockstar Games think Nintendo pricing standard digital games at $80 is likely to set a precedent for GTA 6.

@GTAVI_Countdown said: "Nintendo is officially the first publisher to raise the standard price of digital games to $80. Industry analysts believe GTA 6 could raise the price even more to $100."

@GameRollGTA said: "With Nintendo pricing their new games at $80, I think this drastically increases the chances of GTA 6 also being this price. There is no chance of Rockstar / Take-Two pricing it at $100. But $80? I can totally see that happening and becoming the new industry standard."

@GTASixInfo said: "Mario Kart World coming to Switch 2 is going to be $80. Imagine the price tag for base GTA 6, it may even be more than that if this is where we’re heading towards."

GTA 6 not mentioned in Nintendo Switch 2 Direct event

GTA 6 was not mentioned in the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct event.

There was speculation from some that the most highly anticipated game could release on Switch 2, with the console itself releasing on June 5.

However GTA 6 was not mentioned during the hour-long broadcast from Nintendo so as it stands, GTA 6 is still only releasing on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Rockstar's sister studio, 2K, is having a number of games released on the console though, including Sid Meier's Civilization VII, NBA 2K and WWE 2K. However Rockstar's GTA 5 was not mentioned either.

Take-Two CEO reveals trailer 2 and marketing schedule

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has revealed Rockstar's plans for trailer 2 and its marketing schedule.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Zelnick said: "The anticipation for that title may be the greatest I've ever seen for an entertainment property.

"We want to maintain the anticipation and excitement... We found the better thing to do is provide marketing materials relatively close to the release window in order to create that excitement on the one hand and balance that excitement with unmet anticipation."
