Warhorse Co-founder Hopes GTA 6 Sets $80 Standard For AAA Titles

Expert Verified By

Will Everyone Else Follow Suit With $80 AAA Titles?

Story Highlight

  • Warhorse Studios co-founder Martin Kilma supports GTA 6 pushing AAA game prices to $80.
  • He argues that there isn’t much that interests him about the game except its pricing.
  • Martin Kilma hopes other developers will be able to increase prices after GTA 6.

GTA 6 has created a lot of excitement across the entire industry, but not everyone is looking forward to the game.

Warhorse Studios’ Martin Kilma says that he doesn’t find GTA 6 particularly interesting. However, he is looking forward to the game’s pricing, hoping that it will lead to a wave of price hikes across the industry.

Why it matters: A few games have recently pushed for $80 AAA releases, including GTA 6. Gamers still feel AAA titles should not cost more than $70, but many in the industry feel prices are still not as high as they should be.

GTA 6 Launches In November

Speaking to PCGamer, Warhorse Studios co-founder Martin Kilma noted that most of the industry is afraid to raise prices.

However, he believes that there is no other option for the industry. Martin Kilma hopes that GTA 6’s $80 release will encourage other developers to follow suit and ensure long-term survival for the games industry.

The Warhorse Studios co-founder also noted that he doesn’t find GTA 6 all too appealing apart from its price.

The last thing you can do is increase unit price. That would help a lot. Hopefully, GTA 6 will allow us to increase the cost.

GTA 6 Isn’t The First Game To Launch At $80

The statement does suggest that many in the industry are currently looking for any possible excuse to push AAA games to the $80 mark. However, it will be interesting to see whether other developers can justify the pricing without matching the impossible bar set by Rockstar Games.
