* Deluxe Edition: Expected to cost $89.99/£89.99, potentially offering early access to GTA Online.
* Premium Edition: Priced at $109.99/£109.99, rumoured to provide "first access" to GTA Online.
The prospect of early access to GTA Online for pricier editions suggests a strategy by Rockstar to incentivize higher-tier purchases, leveraging the immense popularity and profitability of GTA 5's online component.
Grand Theft Auto VI expected to generate nearly $8 billion
Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) is set to launch in May next year. Meanwhile, investment firm Konvoy has made some major predictions for the upcoming open world title's financial performance. The video game venture capitalist company suggests that GTA 6 will generate $7.6 billion in revenue within just two months or 60 days of its release. Josh Chapman, a managing partner of Konvoy, shared this forecast on a post shared on the professional networking site LinkedIn. He highlighted that the firm believes that the highly anticipated game will have major commercial success. However, it's important to note that Konvoy's projection is based on certain assumptions that Take-Two Interactive has not yet confirmed, such as an $80 price point for the game and a reported budget of around $2 billion, which the company is said to have spent to develop the game.
Konvoy's analysis suggests that GTA 6 could recover its estimated $2 billion budget in under 30 days and build considerable momentum. The firm predicts that it may become the gaming industry's biggest launch to date and is expected to break records for both copies sold and revenue generated by a game. Considering that analysts have referred to GTA 6 as "the most important game to ever release in the industry," a multi-billion dollar revenue figure may be within reach for the title.

It tells the poignant story of Rahul (Aditya Roy Kapur), a fading singing sensation and Aarohi (Shraddha Kapoor), a small-town girl with a golden voice. Their relationship evolves amidst fame, insecurity and personal battles leading to a heart-wrenching yet spiritually fulfilling conclusion. The soundtrack, featuring hits like 'Tum Hi Ho', serves as the emotional heartbeat of the film and continues to resonate with fans even a decade later. 2.

GTA 6 to roll out age-verification ahead its launch? Rockstar's new move sparks outrage; fans say ‘they have a bad feeling about this'
In a sudden twist of events, a new update by Rockstar Games has left players in shock, especially in the United Kingdom. Amid the growing anticipations, leaks, and rumours, a report shared by a well-known gaming insider, Rockstar Games, may soon roll out age verification for GTA Online, starting with players in the UK. The move comes amid the regular demands, leaks, and rumours that fans circulate ahead of GTA 6. Moreover, this is the second shocker after a further launch delay rumour surfaced on Friday. But why is Rockstar Games going to run an age check ahead of the GTA 6 launch? Let's find out. Age checks are likely to be implemented before the GTA 6 release According to a report by PC Games, a trusted insider, Tez2, revealed on X (formerly called Twitter) that Rockstar Games is preparing to introduce a new age verification system for GTA Online. This move allows recent regulatory changes, especially the UK's Online Safety Act, which mandates age checks to restrict minors from accessing potentially harmful or illegal content. Given GTA Online's open-world nature and user-generated content, it may fall under these new compliance rules. "GTA Online"Porque el GTA 6 agregará verificaciones de edad para poder jugar en línea. Fans react to the age verification move by Rockstar Games According to Tez2, Rockstar is going to introduce the age verification system first in the UK. Well, as soon as the news surfaced on social media, it quickly grabbed the attention of players and fans. One player reacted to the same and said, "I already have a fake NSW driver's license in my possession that looks identical to a real NSW driver's license that i'm going to use to get around all of these because fuck the government and fuck this bullshit." "It's weird that the sudden push for age verification is happening so fast all around the world. Feels very coordinated. So glad most of us grew up in the golden age of the internet. It's downhill from here," one wrote. "I have a bad feeling about this," one said. "Completely agree. There's been quite a lot of discussion on the UK subs about it in the last few days since the Online Safety Act came into effect. Very worrying." One asked, "But little kids are the majority of online's fanbase, so they will regret the decision." To which GameRoll replied, "Again, it's not Rockstar's fault. They have to abide by the law. It's the governments and people in power." Why is Rockstar Games running an age verification? According to a popular X account, GameRoll, "The government wants our data. They want to monitor us even more than they already do. This was never about protecting children; it was about mass surveillance. It'll be every single social platform." "Because uploading your ID and personal data to third-party websites is an incredible breach of privacy and comes with MANY risks??? This is the government wanting to control you and monitor you even further. The act was to 'protect children,' and it's been incorporated into Spotify and other platforms with zero need for it. It's not a conspiracy; this is dystopian," he added. FAQs Q. Will GTA Online really require age verification, or is it just speculation? Yes, according to a reliable industry source known as Tez2, Rockstar Games is preparing to roll out an age verification system in GTA Online. Q. Why introduce age verification now? Is this tied to UK law? Yes, the move is almost certainly tied to the UK's Online Safety Act 2023, which began enforcement in July 2025.
