GTA’s Definitive Edition remasters could cost $70, according to a retailer - Video Games Chronicle

When the price was announced last summer, Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick defended the decision, saying: “We think with the value we offer consumers…and the kind of experience you can really only have on these next-generation consoles, that the price is justified.”.

Then in March he again defended the decision to implement premium pricing, stating that “the last time there was a frontline price increase in the US was 2005, 2006, so we think consumers were ready for it.”.

Last year, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan defended the company’s decision to price select first-party PS5 games at $70, such as Demon’s Souls and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition.

“I’m not negative on people setting a new price point for games because I know everybody’s going to drive their own decisions based on their own business needs.
