Rumor retweeted by ZheugEx so it must have some credibility.



Grand Theft Auto 6 will reportedly cost $2 billion.

Been in development since 2014 and will be the most expensive entertainment product of all time.

Also 2 billion includes the whole development and advertising. And post launch content.

Pshhh pocket change!

I just hope they still have the humor I liked.... a lot of it was toned down or didnt hit as hard in GTAV. GTA4 still had it.

I think it's FUD, rhey would need at least 40 millions to break even if accounted for marketing costs.

Not to mention the online mode must be as impressive as GTA Online when it comes to grinding pocket of players.

This game will be around for at least 10 years so they plan on it being like a gaas and like GTAV which has sold well every single damn year since it's release, re-release and release plus.

Expect more toning down that's for sure.

But either way I am excited for this.

What they're probably gonna do is have GTA V online be interconnected to the GTA VI online if you own both games. That was their original plan for GTA V online to have many maps from older games but the tech couldn't execute. Thast way they don't force anyone to leave GTA V behind.

That would be good! So many ppl have invested time and money on that. Haven't checked my penthouse in over five years!

I expect with 2 billion budget, they gonna have 200h hour campaign, 300 missions, 700 side missions, map that 4 times larger than Los Santos. 700 different endings. 16 times the details of GTA V, the game gonna features top Hollywood actors like Johnny Sin and Mia Khalifa. The gunplay gonna be better than Destiny 2, missions more opened and complexed than Deus Ex HR, the graphics look like real life so I would never have to touch grass again.

I don't think even something as big as a Rockstar game will have the balls to go against the PC climate. Besides, how up to date would that humour be considering it started development eons ago.

great. looking forward to see what it will offer. GTA 5 in 2013 was wonderful game.

i am glad, that somebody else isn't afraid to create high end game, including Playstation.

Don't know about PC climate but I bet it skips a PC release for the first year. :ROFLMAO:

R* ain't going to invest $2B for PC players to pirate it day one.

With a game costing 2 billon can they afford to have a whole year, year and a half without PC MTX?

This is no longer about the single player game for them. They have to release an online game that is better than current GTAV that has a decade of work on top. I am sure most of the budget went to the online game.

GTA online might even cannibalize the new game since you can play it everywhere and I don't think it will much new to the table.

It ain't F2P so it will likely get the GTAIV, GTAV and RDR2 treatment from R*.
