GTA 6 release date nears as millionaire makes value-for-money case for $99.99
Mark Tilbury claims GTA 6 delivers better value than spending nights out.
A self-made millionaire has used the upcoming GTA 6 release to make a tongue-in-cheek financial argument: the game is a bargain. Tilbury points out the $99.99 Ultimate Edition offers 80 hours of main gameplay, dropping to 50 cents an hour when side missions are included.
At four hours of play per evening, that equals 50 nights of entertainment. Compare that to a single night out at $100, and the game saves players $5000, he argues.
Publishers are reportedly hoping GTA 6's scale sets a new pricing standard for the industry. The game releases November 19 and will also feature GTA Online play beyond the main story.
