Warhorse co-founder tells PC Gamer he hopes GTA 6 will "blaze the trail" to higher game prices

Martin Klima, co-founder of Kingdom Come: Deliverance developer Warhorse Studios, told PC Gamer he hopes GTA 6 will "blaze the trail" to higher game prices. PC Gamer published the interview on October 1, 2026. Klima also said the series "doesn't appeal to me at all" and that he did not plan to play GTA 6.

Klima's argument is about the economics of the industry. He told PC Gamer that games are very expensive to make and that audience growth has more or less topped out. Raising the unit price, he said, would "help a lot", but "everybody's scared to death about it."

He named Rockstar and Take-Two as the only companies who can afford, or dare, to raise prices. Klima called that move "long overdue" and necessary for the business to survive, and said he wished them luck. He also said he bears no ill will toward Rockstar or the GTA games.

For context, Take-Two had confirmed in June 2026 that GTA 6 would launch at $79.99, with a $99.99 Ultimate Edition. PC Gamer's writer added that the Ultimate Edition locks more content behind the higher price, and said he expects more expensive games in 2027 and beyond. That is the outlet's prediction, not something any publisher said.

PC Gamer's article carried no response from Rockstar or Take-Two, and Klima did not announce a price for any Warhorse game. This is one developer's hope about where the industry might go, so treat it as opinion rather than news about GTA 6 itself.
