The truth is said, video games are no longer just childhood. What has started with the superior plumbers jumping over the turtles and a pixel -filled turtle that you fight on the keyboard doctrines is a form of smell entertainment thanks to excessive realistic drawings, 3D movement technology, and huge budgets.
And if there is one game that leads the fees, it is so grand theft auto (GTA). Over the years, this game series has become a global phenomenon, and the next GTA 6 sets a completely new standard. Rockstar Games, the studio behind the GTA series, spends about $ 2 billion (about $ 3.35 billion) on the development and marketing of GTA 6.
This is a skyscraper. This is “Launch-A-Rocket-To-Mars” money. It is ten times a budget GTA 5Which, at the time of its release in 2013, already felt a high mark of water for what the game could be. But we are here, after a decade, and Rockstar not only raises the tape – but it fires it in another orbit.
Legacy’s Legacy and Rockstar for the future
Since the screens were first hit in 1997, the GTA privilege was at the heart of the games culture. She has emerged in her large open worlds, wild freedom, and stories that pulled you and left. Then GTA 5 came, and everything changed. With the sale of more than 200 million copies and acquired revenues of $ 8.5 billion, it strengthened its place as one of the most successful games of all time to the present day, not one game – Minecraft.
So, when Rockstar says he will get GTA 6, people listen. The next address is expected to be distinguished by an open world based on City (Reef Reeves on Miami), deep overwhelming play, dual champion system, and the type of artificial intelligence that gives NPCs enough to make you wonder whether she has obtained side bustle and weekly treatment.
The budget is $ 2 billion? It not only covers the basic game, but years of downloadable content, regular updates, and a global marketing campaign that made fans already enthusiastic. To facilitate the understanding of things, the GTA 5 budget amounted to $ 265 million – an amount now feels like a pocket change compared to what is invested in GTA 6. In fact, GTA 6 will also exceed the most expensive current game ever, Genshin Impact, which has a budget of $ 700 million. The investment may seem crazy, but given the company’s record, there is not much anxiety.
