As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt, I must say that the anticipation for GTA 6 has been nothing short of epic. The rumored $2 billion budget is mind-boggling to say the least, but considering the game’s potential to break more records, it seems like a wise investment.
What could surpass Grand Theft Auto V as the highest-grossing entertainment product ever? If you’re Rockstar Games, it seems they’ll continue pushing for bigger and better. GTA V achieved its remarkable sales partly due to GTA Online, and while the future is uncertain, GTA 6 promises a new era.
Before Rockstar officially confirmed the next installment in their expansive Grand Theft Auto series in December 2023, several details had already been leaked. These revelations included a female protagonist for the first time and a return to Vice City, among other significant plot points. Judging by the grandeur of the previews, it’s expected to be quite an investment. But exactly how much will it cost?
GTA 6’s rumoured price tag is jaw-dropping
Info and rumors about GTA 6:
— GTA 6 Countdown ⏳ (@GTAVI_Countdown) August 11, 2024
The Twitter account @GTAVI_Countdown provided an update on the progress of Grand Theft Auto VI, hinting that it has been under development since 2014. It was also mentioned that the PC version will be released at a later date, and there will be a new trailer before the end of this year. Notably, there are whispers about a $2 billion budget for the game’s production.
It’s astonishing to think that Grand Theft Auto 6 might carry a price tag of two billion dollars before its release, considering we already knew it would be expensive. However, when you consider that the production cost of GTA V was estimated at approximately $265 million, this new figure becomes truly jaw-dropping.
Despite the extended gap between releases, the proposed price of GTA 6 being eight times higher than its predecessor is quite astonishing. In fact, if released at this price, it would be the most expensive video game ever produced. However, keep in mind that GTA V earned over $1 billion in just its first three days, so GTA 6 aims to surpass these records.
As a gaming enthusiast, I’ve heard whispers that Star Citizen might have set developers back over half a billion dollars, with Cyberpunk 2077 and The Last of Us Part II allegedly costing around $440 million and $220 million respectively. However, publishers tend to keep financial specifics under wraps. If the rumors about GTA 6 being in the ballpark of a whopping $2 billion are true, it’s evident that none can compare in terms of budget.
With such substantial production and promotional expenses, some might express concerns that Rockstar may find it challenging to recoup these costs. Yet, in what realm would Grand Theft Auto 6 not be an anticipated blockbuster? The decade-long gap between games has only fueled anticipation, while experts are predicting it could be the most significant game launch ever.
Based on the buzz generated by just a few glimpses of GTA 6, its social media activity and trailers are setting new standards. It’s safe to say this momentum won’t slow down. We’re not entirely sure if it will cost $2 billion to produce, but even if it does, the upcoming installment in the auto-themed series is likely to reap massive profits.
