After years of waiting, rumors, delays, theories, conspiracy boards, blurry screenshots, and enough speculation to fill the internet twice over, Grand Theft Auto VI fans may finally have something new to obsess over: the game's possible price.
According to a recent rumor, an employee from a large UK game retailer claims that GTA VI pre-orders are about to begin and that the game could launch with a price tag of £69.99.
That's right. Not £100.
The collective sound of gamers exhaling could reportedly be heard from space.
For months, players have feared that GTA VI would become the first game to cost as much as a utility bill. Some fans were preparing to finance the game through a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage.
"Would you like fries with that?"
"No thanks. I'm saving for GTA VI."
The rumor claims that pre-orders could open soon and that only one version of the game is currently listed. No gold edition. No platinum edition. No ultra-deluxe-super-mega-criminal-mastermind edition.
Just one version.
Which is refreshing because some modern games have so many editions that buying one feels like applying for a college degree.
Unfortunately, there is one small problem.
Nobody knows if the rumor is true.
The source is anonymous.
The retailer is unnamed.
The evidence is unverified.
And Rockstar remains quieter than a player who accidentally joins voice chat.
As expected, the internet immediately split into two groups.
Group One: "This is it! The announcement is coming! Everything is happening!"
Group Two: "I won't believe it until Rockstar personally delivers the game to my house riding a helicopter."
Both positions are understandable.
After all, GTA fans have spent so many years waiting that some people started the countdown as teenagers and are now discussing back pain.

The release date is currently set for November 2026, assuming there are no further delays.
At this point, every time Rockstar says a date out loud, fans stare at it the same way people stare at weather forecasts.
"Looks promising. Let's see if it survives the week."
Still, optimism remains high.
The possibility of a standard AAA price is encouraging for players who feared GTA VI might cost enough to unlock a real-life wanted level from their bank.
Until Rockstar officially confirms the details, the rumored price should be treated exactly as what it is:
A rumor.
A very interesting rumor.
A very exciting rumor.
A rumor powerful enough to make millions of gamers refresh social media every seven seconds.
For now, fans continue waiting, wallets remain cautiously open, and the internet continues its favorite hobby: turning a single unconfirmed comment into a full-blown international investigation.
Welcome to the GTA VI hype cycle.
The game isn't out yet, but somehow we're already playing it!
