A Grand Theft Auto is not played like a film. The main story of GTA V ran to about thirty hours, but the median time actually spent in the game was more than double that, because you stop, you drive, you look around. The estimate of 50 to 70 hours covers the story; your real counter will depend on your discipline, and yours will be weak.
What it costs in console hours
| Tier | Hourly rate | Cost of 50 h |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery | €3.97 | €198.33 |
| Campaign | €3.10 | €155.00 |
| Complete | €2.68 | €134.06 |

On the Complete tier, finishing GTA 6 comes to €134.06 of console time. Playing between 2 am and 8 am, where the hour only counts as half, the same playthrough drops to €67.03. By comparison, a PlayStation 5 Slim has cost €649.99 since 2 April 2026.
Counting exploration, allow yourself room. Unused credit stays valid, which makes having too much cheaper than running short on a Sunday evening.
This game does not exist on PC and is not announced for it, which is set out in GTA 6 on PC. On 19 November, you need a console.
How many evenings, in practice
At three hours an evening, GTA 6 takes about 17 evenings for the main story, more if you explore. That is the calculation that matters when choosing a tier: the Campaign tier credit covers 90 hours, no expiry.
The game remains at your expense: Ploud rents time on a physical PlayStation 5, never a title. You sign in to your PlayStation Network account, GTA 6 installs once on the 200 GB reserved for you, and it waits for you from one session to the next. The GTA 6 without a PS5 page details the service.
50 to 70 h of story, €134.06 of console. Set the slider to your pace.
