In a recent analysis, Matthew Ball suggested that if Rockstar and Take-Two set new pricing standards for AAA games, it could potentially save the gaming industry. This sparked a debate among players about their willingness to pay $100 for the entry-level edition of Grand Theft Auto 6. Surprisingly, a survey revealed that over one-third of nearly 7,000 respondents were willing to pay this amount for the basic version of Rockstar's new sandbox game, despite Ubisoft's trend of pushing extended editions.

Matthew Ball's statement about publishers selling games for $100 to save the industry quickly went viral. He believes that Rockstar and Take-Two could lead the way in setting this new pricing standard for other companies to follow.
Rockstar has announced that Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online will receive updates in 2025, aligning the PC version with the PS5 and Xbox Series versions. While specifics remain under wraps, it's expected that these updates will go beyond mere visual enhancements.
Currently exclusive to PS5 and Xbox Series users, the GTA+ subscription might soon be extended to PC gamers. Additionally, certain features of the console version of Grand Theft Auto Online, such as Hao's exclusive car modifications that allow vehicles to reach extremely high speeds, are not yet available on PC. There's a strong possibility that these extreme turbo-tuning options will become accessible to PC players in the near future.
