Industry Figures Dismiss FNAC's €89.99 GTA 6 Listing as Placeholder Ahead of June 25 Preorders

Summary
FNAC's leaked GTA 6 prices — starting at €89.99 for the standard edition and rising to €199.99 for a collector's version — triggered fears that Take-Two could price the game above the $70 norm.
Industry figures said the retailer's SKU codes point to placeholder entries rather than official Take-Two pricing, undercutting the viral claim that the listings confirm a final launch price.
Even so, the leak kept alive speculation that GTA 6 could test an $80 or even $90 price point, a 14% to 28% increase that some analysts think the franchise could sustain after 13 years of pent-up demand.
The official answer is due within 72 hours, with GTA 6 preorders set to open on June 25 and any matching retailer leaks before then likely to draw fresh scrutiny.
