Grand Theft Auto VI could become the most expensive video game in history, if the latest estimates are to be believed. According to the portal Business Insider, the development of the game has reportedly cost between 1 and 1.5 billion dollars so far.
These figures are based on estimates from industry analysts and were mentioned in a conversation with Take-Two Interactive's CEO, Strauss Zelnick. Although he did not want to disclose the exact budget, Zelnick admitted that development has been expensive.
High costs should not be too surprising given the ambitions of the project. GTA 6 is expected to be one of the biggest launches in the history of the entertainment industry, and the development of the game itself has been ongoing for years. Of course, such figures immediately raise questions about the final price of the game, and you can read more on that topic on our portal.
