GTA 6 Price Is Official, But What Did Other Classics Cost at Launch?

So GTA 6 finally has a confirmed price, and the internet is doing what the internet does: arguing about whether it's worth it. But here's the thing that makes this moment kind of fun, most people have absolutely no memory of what big games actually cost when they first dropped. PC Gamer leaned into that collective amnesia and put together a launch-price quiz to test whether you really remember what you paid (or begged your parents to pay) back in the day.

It sounds easy until you're actually in it. Prices shift around more than you'd expect across generations, storefronts, and regions, and the "standard" $60 era feels both recent and ancient at the same time. Whether GTA 6's number lands as a shock or a shrug probably depends a lot on how long you've been buying games at launch versus waiting for the inevitable sale. Either way, it's a decent reminder that sticker prices in gaming have always been a whole conversation, not just a number on a box.
