Google error shows GTA 6 PS5 price as £0.16, days after pre-order leak fizzles

The GTA 6 pre-order email leak appears to have been a colossal mistake by Best Buy or its affiliate program. Unfortunately, not even Google shopping links seem to be a reliable source of information. Further frustrating fans, the search engine listed the PS5 title in stock on the PlayStation Store for just £0.16.

On social media, Saukko505 shared the surprising search result after entering the common phrase. Unsuspecting gamers might have thought the Rockstar Games project was available on Sony’s marketplace. However, the low GTA 6 price immediately raised doubts with savvy buyers. £0.16 or 16 pence converts to 21 cents in U.S. Dollars.

Not surprisingly, clicking the link only led to more disappointment. Followers are still waiting for clarification on the game’s cost and reassurance of its November 19th release date. That could come ahead of Take-Two Interactive's May 21st earnings call. On the other hand, Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming speculates that pre-orders and and trailer #3 may not surface until July or August.

Rockstar will want to be the first to share any updates. Even so, a PlayStation Store leak providing clues is not out of the realm of possibility. Recently, PS4 owners received a message asking them to upgrade their consoles in time for the GTA 6 PS5 debut. Sony is also poised to join the studio in its promotional efforts, complete with a rumored PS5 Pro bundle.

Grand Theft Auto 6 price speculation

When the crime epic finally arrives, gamers can expect a more realistic GTA 6 price. Most analysts project a cost between $70-100, with Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick hinting at a “very reasonable” number.

Adding to the confusion, several retailers have opened pre-orders. The Italian Showgame allowed buyers to reserve a PS5 or Xbox copy for €69.90, before selling out. Meanwhile, the Dutch Gameshop Twente still lists the PlayStation version at €99. These are likely placeholders, not based on official Rockstar communication.
