With more than 185 million copies sold, the fifth installment in the series is the second best-selling video game of all time, second only to Minecraft.
We are very excited to let you know that in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto. We look forward to many more years of sharing these experiences with all of you.

Will GTA 6 cost 2 billion dollars?
For gamers, Grand Theft Auto 6 is one of the most anticipated video games. The game’s budget has made its fans curious for a long time. The whole cost and budget of the GTA 6 video game have not been made public by the game’s developers or parent company, Take-two Interactive.
Nonetheless, certain claims have surfaced revealing the approximate pricing of the earlier Grand Theft Auto video games. The budget for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6 is said to be the most ambitious yet. The GTA 6 video game can have upwards of billions of dollars in production costs.
GTA 6 is reportedly going to be the most expensive video game ever created. There are rumors that GTA 6 will cost between $1 and $2 billion. According to Dexerto Gaming, Grand Theft Auto 6 will be the most costly game ever made.

The fact that GTA 6 will cost a lot to make is not shocking. However, the budget of $2 billion is super inflated. The game’s development budget alone is at least $250 million, according to INTER. With predictions of over a billion dollars for marketing and other costs, the overall cost might be substantially higher.
Most likely, the $2 billion will cover the project’s whole duration. This includes all upcoming GTA online stuff, any DLC, etc. over the ensuing ten or so years. Additionally, a large portion of this money is allocated to marketing, sales, and other expenses and just the media part alone will cost them millions.
Even if GTA 6 would cost a whopping $2 billion to develop, it can easily make a profit out of it. The game is speculated to cost around $70 keeping in line with other AAA titles.
For GTA 6 to make $1 billion on its first day of sales at a $70 price point, almost 14.3 million copies would need to be sold. GTA 5 sold over 11.21 million copies in its first 24 hours of availability. Therefore this number is hardly outlandish.
Moreover, GTA 5 brought in nearly $800 million. The objective of 14.3 million copies is undoubtedly attainable. The franchise is beloved by gamers, as GTA 5 remains one of the best-selling games year after year.
