26/06/2026 13:48 - Tecnologia

A Historic Week for Gamers Worldwide

The video game industry is experiencing an extraordinary moment. Rockstar Games officially confirmed the prices of Grand Theft Auto VI, considered the most expensive video game ever developed, with an investment exceeding USD 1 billion. Simultaneously, Valve launched its new Steam Machine, a compact desktop console that promises to revolutionize PC gaming.

Both announcements arrived during a pivotal week for the sector, with pre-orders now open and expectations running high.

Pre-order bonuses include the Vintage Vice City Pack and one free month of GTA+ for digital purchases. The physical version will include a download code, not a disc.

For context: GTA V generated over USD 8 billion in revenue and sold 200 million copies, setting a standard that will be difficult to surpass.

Availability and Key Considerations

Steam Machine: Argentina is not included in the initial launch. The reservation system operated via random lottery until June 25, 2026. Higher-priced versions reflect increased RAM and storage costs in the current market.

GTA VI: Available for pre-order at digital stores starting June 25, 2026. Rockstar has not announced a release date for the PC version.

Sources: Rockstar Games confirmed prices and pre-orders. Valve announced Steam Machine on June 22, 2026.
