Rockstar Spent $1-2B In Budget Cost To Make GTA 6

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Rockstar spent $1-2B in budget cost to make GTA VI.

The post began by indicating the 25th anniversary of Rockstar would arrive next month too, meaning the GTA 6 trailer will perhaps debut on the same day. That being said, only the vague “December 1998” window exists for its foundation date, as the studio was only announced on January 22 the following year.

The Game Awards does take place on December 7 though, making that another possibility for the trailer reveal. Rockstar hasn’t confirmed it will appear at the awards show, but given it’s usually packed with new trailers and announcements from the biggest developers, GTA 6’s appearance wouldn’t be out of place.

GTA 6 is already breaking records.

– Trending #1 in 14 countries and worldwide.

– The announcement is now the most liked gaming tweet of all time with over 1.1 million likes.

– It’s also the most viewed gaming tweet with 85 million views in just 6 hours.

While there is no confirmed answer for this at the moment, the most likely answer is no. The expensive budget may not affect the retail price of Grand Theft Auto 6.According to many sources, including the notorious September 2022 GTA 6 leaker himself, Rockstar Games has been developing the upcoming game since 2014 and has a budget of over two billion dollars. However, his statement was made in the said period, and to date, the game’s development has likely crossed the mark.

“In 1998, Rockstar Games was founded on the idea that video games could come to be as essential to culture as any other form of entertainment, and we hope that we have created games you love in our efforts to be part of that evolution.”

GTA 6 has been rumoured ever since the release of Grand Theft Auto 5 just over a decade ago. It was reported on loosely in a 2020 Kotaku report about Rockstar’s efforts to alleviate crunch culture at the studio, and was confirmed in a press release back in 2022, with the studio saying that development was “well underway.” Later that year, in-development footage of the game was leaked in a massive breach, with authorities eventually arresting a British teenage hacker in conjunction with the incident.

However, based on the previous instances and market competition, Rockstar Games may not charge more than the standard amount for GTA 6. Many recent AAA titles, such as God of War Ragnarök, Hogwarts Legacy, Elden Ring, etc., cost around $60 to $70.

This led many fans to believe that the American gaming studio would charge $150 per copy for Grand Theft Auto 6. Most of them argue that since Rockstar Games is spending a significant amount of money on development and also has a high sales target, it will make the game costlier to retrieve the expenses.
