Rumors now have it that Rockstar Games is getting very skeptical about spending $265 million just to develop “GTA 6” as it might fell short of the remarkable sales performance of “GTA 5.”
“GTA 5” actually made a sales record of $800 million in just 24 hours from its release in October 2013 and the game has now raked in billions of dollars for Rockstar Games.
But it should be noted that these are mere rumors since it would be very difficult to leak a supposed budget of a video game development considering that work on the game is still in progress.
Critics also believe that assuming that the rumors have a good leg to stand on, $265 million would be peanuts for Rockstar Games since the “GTA” franchise has made more money for the company that its budget will almost be a non-issue.
They believe that if $265 million is indeed the working figure, then it is likely that the game would come out way better than “GTA 5” and that would surely make fans of the franchise happy so sales would surely be flowing freely thereafter. With such a huge budget allocation, it is almost sure that the game would come out already with VR or AR support.
