The Ultimate Edition of GTA 6 has become the best-selling version of the game, according to readers in the latest Games Inbox. The news comes amid ongoing debate about the game's pricing, with the standard edition reportedly costing £100. One reader, Zeiss, argued that Take-Two made the right call by not forcing players to pay the higher price, instead offering the Ultimate Edition at £90 as an enticing upgrade.
Take-Two's Pricing Strategy Praised
Zeiss noted that the Ultimate Edition doesn't contain anything essential, but the extra £20 for the best version feels reasonable. "I think they definitely made the right choice by not being so greedy – and there’s not many video game companies you can say that for," they wrote. The reader also admitted that pre-ordering is more about showing loyalty than practical benefit, but still placed their own pre-order. "Don’t force people to spend a minimum of £100, just gently tempt them to spend an extra £20," they concluded.
Nintendo Switch 2 Predictions
In other news, readers are speculating about upcoming Nintendo announcements. Gauntlett predicted a Zelda-branded Switch 2 console for Christmas, based on leaked console boxes that appear genuine. They also forecast that a Nintendo Direct will happen within the next week, despite the possibility of Gamescom at the end of August. "I’m willing to bet a sizeable number of internet points that the Direct will be this month, for a launch in November," they said.
Another reader, Onibee, predicted that Luigi’s Mansion 4 will be released in 2027 for Switch 2. They noted that the developer hasn't released anything in years and that the series would showcase the console well. "I definitely think it would’ve been a better choice for this year than Fire Emblem, so that’s a bit of a puzzle," they added.
Star Wars Zero Company and Other Topics
Michael Veal expressed confusion about why Star Wars Zero Company is set in the prequel universe, preferring the original trilogy backdrop. He suggested that a game like Outlaws might have been more successful if it featured Han Solo, though he acknowledged potential likeness rights issues. The GameCentral editor responded that an Andor-style setting would seem more obvious, but the game has a grounded tone without Gungans.
Jonesy praised the yellow Wolverine DualSense controller, noting that special edition consoles have been rare this generation. Sarson looked forward to an upcoming Amiga 1200 remake and the evolving fan scene for new games. Simon suggested that future Assassin's Creed games should be set in the Roman Empire, calling Hexe a step backwards.
Finally, a reader known as Badnq shared first impressions of Halo: Campaign Evolved, calling it "fine" but repetitive. The inbox also included a note about Kingdom Hearts 4 possibly having a Star Wars world, with GameCentral responding that Disney's recent Star Wars vs. Marvel comic makes it likely.
