But analysts said that Rockstar Games actually netted $800 million just 24 hours after the release of “GTA 5” so the company may have already made billions already by this time for the game.
With updates and DLCs that came the way of the game in its over three years of existence, Rockstar Games has certainly earned more from “GTA 5” so the $265 million worth of investment was well worth it.
There are speculations that “GTA 6” would already come out in the gaming consoles and the PC already featuring virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) support.
These new technologies would certainly increase the development budget of “GTA 6.” But given the success of “GTA 5,” the amount would surely be peanuts for Rockstar Games, opine video game critics and analysts.
With the commercial success and wide acclaim of “GTA 5,” the pressure is definitely on the American game developer to guarantee that the massively open world game featuring complex scenarios and interactive cities will give gamers a worthwhile gaming spectacle and experience.
There are also reports saying that Rockstar Games shall be able to fully focus on the development of “GTA 6” once it completes and releases on the gaming consoles in the fall of next year the “Red Dead Redemption 2.”
