## Quick answer

The market compares the pre-tax US-dollar launch price on Xbox and PlayStation and uses the lower store price if they differ. Additional content and premium bundles do not establish a $100 standard price. [2](https://polymarket.com/event/will-gta-6-cost-100-245/will-gta-6-cost-100-245)

## Key takeaways

- Check the actual standard-game listing on both stores on the first official US release day, rather than relying on an expensive collector package.
- Preorder promotions, premium editions or taxes can make a consumer’s receipt exceed $100 without satisfying the contract. A launch beyond its fallback deadline also changes resolution.
- The contract uses launch-day pricing and specifies No if the game has not released by February 28, 2027. [2](https://polymarket.com/event/will-gta-6-cost-100-245/will-gta-6-cost-100-245)

## What the current price does—and does not—show

The API snapshot on October 4, 2026 priced Yes at 1.85% for “Will GTA 6 cost $100+?”. The parent event had $419,698 in cumulative volume. That volume includes trading across the event; it is not a count of distinct people and does not establish the probability of this one contract.

## The evidence that would change the reading

Check the actual standard-game listing on both stores on the first official US release day, rather than relying on an expensive collector package.

The useful question is whether the available evidence meets this test: The market compares the pre-tax US-dollar launch price on Xbox and PlayStation and uses the lower store price if they differ. Additional content and premium bundles do not establish a $100 standard price. A confident story without that connection leaves the central condition unproved.

## A fact worth knowing

The lower qualifying price wins when the two named console stores disagree, so a single $100 listing is insufficient.
