The price range for each title varies. There are numerous factors that come into play to affect the price point of a gaming title. Regardless, AAA titles always hold an exclusive monetary value. They are priced in such a way that it reflects the investment that is put into the title. We can say the same in regard to Rockstar Games’ much-awaited title.
GTA 6 has been in the workshop for many years now. The wait has been quite unbearable for the hardcore fans. As a result, we saw outcries through the meme culture, mocking the long wait for the AAA masterpiece.
