According to a report from The Scotsman, the Grand Theft Auto 5 will be the most expensive game in history and will even come close to some of the recent high-budget Hollywood movies at £170 million/US $265 million.
According to a report, Rockstar spent around £170 million/US $265 million to make and market the new GTA 5 which even puts it in line with some of the high-budget Hollywood movies like Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, which had a US $300 million budget. Nevertheless, Rockstar should not be in problems as, according to previous reports, it already received around 2.5 million pre-orders ahead of its September 17th release date for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
We are quite sure that Rockstar will eventually release the PC as well as the next-generation console version that should give it addition funds to cover those £170 million/US $265 million.
It will definitely end up to be one of the most expensive games up to date and will raise the bar when it comes on how much you can actually spend to make a game.
