It is a truth universally acknowledged that AAA games cost more money to make than most humans will see in their lifetime.<\/p>\n

The Last of Us Part 2<\/a> cost over $200 million, as did God of War Ragnar\u00f6k<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t a new thing, though, with 1997\u2019s Final Fantasy VII costing around $45 million (about $146 million in today\u2019s money).<\/p>\n

So, what about the budget for Grand Theft Auto 6<\/a>? Judging by the trailer<\/a>, it\u2019s pushing the boundaries of gaming pretty far with its densely populated open world. Dare we think about how much it\u2019ll cost?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at the GTA 6 budget.<\/p>\n

GTA 6 budget rumours explained: How much did it cost to make?<\/strong><\/h2>\nAccording to visualcapitalist.com<\/a>, a leak from a hacker has sparked rumours that Grand Theft Auto 6 had a whopping budget of $2 billion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t know if this is absolutely certain or not, but a budget that size would certainly be a new record for a video game.<\/p>\n
2019\u2019s mammoth Red Dead Redemption 2<\/a> came to a $540 million budget (including marketing), making it one of the most expensive games ever made. So can we expect four times that from GTA 6?<\/p>
