The Marvels is out now on the big screen – and the Captain Marvel sequel has a lot to unpack. For starters, it's not just Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) who takes center stage this time around. She's joined by Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) and Kamala Khan, AKA Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani) after they discover that they switch places every time they use their light-based powers.
GTA 6 price rumours explained: Why are fans talking about it already?
07.12.2023 - 11:17 / radiotimes.com / Strauss Zelnick
After watching the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, it's clear that the game has cost a pretty penny to develop, and it's caused quite the hubbub.
So we've got the GTA 6 price rumours explained to see why fans are already talking about it.
Big-budget games for the current generation have already crept up in recent years, and often cost £60-£70. We still remember coughing up £40 for games on the Xbox 360.
When adjusted for inflation, however, £40 in 2005 would be equivalent to £67.60 today.
That checks out. What doesn't are the rumours that GTA 6 will cost more than double that, based on what GTA publisher Take-Two said in a recent earnings call.
When looking at how the graphics have improved since GTA V, how big and detailed the GTA 6 map is and how lifelike protagonist Lucia looks, it's easy to see why many are worried about how Rockstar is going to recoup the development costs.
It's not all doom and gloom (and hopefully not for GTA 6 on PC), however, as we'll go over just down below. Without giving anything away, we doubt you'll be forking out triple digits for the base game, but you could may well over the years on GTA 6 Online!
People are talking about the GTA 6 price because of comments made by Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick, who suggested that games should be valued individually based on the «expected entertainment usage».
As part of a Take-Two Interactive Earnings Call, Strauss Zelnick explained that the pricing algorithm, as it were, «is the value of the expected entertainment usage, which is to say that the per-hour value times the number of expected hours plus the terminal value that's perceived by the customer in ownership if the title is actually owned, not, say, rented or subscribed to.»
Zelnick continued, adding: «By that standard, our frontline prices are still very, very low, because we offer many hours of engagement.»
Before you get worried about Take-Two pricing GTA 6 based on a per-hour metric (which would be astronomical considering how many hours you can enjoy a GTA game), though, he does conclude that «it's our strategy here to deliver much more value than what we charge consumers».

The GTA 6 price won’t be £150, if that’s what you’re worried about.
We won’t know its pricing until it’s officially revealed, but we think it’d be ridiculous to expect it to cost anything more than £70, which is about the maximum publishers charge for brand new PS5/Xbox Series games.
During the Take-Two Interactive Earnings Call, Zelnick detailed: «We want to make sure the

Tears of the Kingdom devs talk about the game’s tragic conclusions
Before players meet Rauru in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, they see his arm. At the very beginning of the game, Link doesn’t really know what’s going on, but he wakes up with a mysterious appendage that’s not his — and that allows him to harness incredible powers. It’s not much later that Link meets a spirit version of Rauru, the first king of Hyrule and a character who belongs to a race of creatures called the Zonai. In lending Link his arm, Rauru gave the hero the means to go out into the wide world of Hyrule and realize the carefully laid plans of Princess Zelda.

Metaphor: ReFantazio's developers explain how it compares and differs from Persona
I'm not normally in a rush to post marketing videos in which developers talk about how great their new game is, but I need all the help I can get in understanding Metaphor: ReFantazio. The new RPG from the makers of Persona looks stylish, dense, exciting, and almost entirely baffling in its trailers, so 14 minutes of the folks from Atlus just describing it is welcome.
