Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director thinks GTA 6 might have the "clout" to normalise a $100 price tag

by

Debate continues to rage on the internetworks about whether premium video games, and especially the ones with the largest budgets, need to have higher price tags. This time, the culprit is Matthew Ball of analyst firm Epyllion, who remarks in a sprawling State Of Videogaming 2025 report that "some gamemakers hope GTA 6 will be priced at $80-$100 , breaking the $70 barrier and helping $50 titles to move up to $60, $60 to $70, $70 to $80, etc." Picked up by VGC, these comments have now been circulated on social media, and have attracted the extremely polarised mixture of responses you're probably expecting. Among those chipping in is Larian's director of publishing Michael Douse, who makes the familiar argument that overall prices for games like GTA aren't necessarily higher today when you factor in economic inflation, while also acknowledging that up-front price alone doesn't explain the industry's recent mass livelihood devastation, and that few people would happily pay that much for a...

by

Back when Baldur's Gate 3 first got its official modding tools last year, one of the big questions folks were immediately asking was whether it'd be possible to create any big custom campaigns, and whether many modders would actually take on the daunting and time-consuming task of delivering such a thing.

Will GTA 6 cost $100? There's hope for that kind of price tag around the industry, analyst says, as it continues to face "an uncomfortable truth"

by

People are talking about GTA 6 again, and this time it's in relation to how much cash you might have to fork over to play it. According to an analyst, there's some "hope" in the industry that Rockstar might opt to buck established pricing trends with the game, potentially helping address something Larian's publishing boss says "isn’t the reason the industry is in the s**t for now", but "is an uncomfortable truth".

by Harvey Randall

Baldur's Gate 3 mods enjoyed a new set of tools last year as part of its seventh patch, tools which it only took erstwhile modders two days to unlock.

Players are still finding edge-case Baldur's Gate 3 scenes, like one where you play as a kidnapped Astarion even if you made your own player-character

by Jody Macgregor

s our Harvey Randall wrote, we're all still playing Baldur's Gate 3 more than a year after its release because there's so much to find in it. Gale can write a sad resignation letter if you ignore him long enough, and there's a game over just for people who go out of their way to lose a plot-critical item. When I was playing I triggered an ambush by Astarion's vampire-spawn siblings by long-resting repeatedly in the Lower City, something that apparently a lot of other players didn't experience. Even I didn't notice what happens if you let Astarion get vamp-napped, however... Read more.

2024 was still the year of Baldur's Gate 3: Why we're all still playing Larian's once-in-a-decade RPG 16 months later

by Harvey Randall

Baldur's Gate 3 really is an astonishing game—and I don't just mean in the sense that it's quite good (it is). Rather, it's astonishing because of its sheer longevity. Traditionally-speaking, single player RPGs have their moment in the sun, sure. But they usually only stay there for a handful of months, after which their player bases understandably finish them, then go off to do something else with their hard-earned gamer time... Read more.
