Rockstar Games has responded to rumors about the development cost of GTA 6, denying that it reached $1.5 billion, a figure compared to the budget of Dubai's Burj Khalifa. Despite this denial, no concrete number has been provided by the studio regarding the true costs associated with producing the highly anticipated title. With years of development and multiple studios involved, including one dedicated to NPCs, it's likely that the investment remains significant. The financial success of GTA 6 seems assured, with over 5 million copies pre-ordered, generating more than half a billion dollars. Expectations suggest that pre-orders could reach 25 million by launch, potentially bringing revenues close to $2 billion. However, as Take-Two's CEO Strauss Zelnick cautioned, pre-orders don't guarantee actual sales, so these figures might fluctuate. While there has been no official word on an online multiplayer component for GTA 6, rumors suggest it may launch in 2027. Given GTA 5's successful online mode, the expectation is that GTA 6 could replicate this success, although it may face challenges attracting players away from the established GTA Online community. Rockstar will need to carefully balance new offerings to keep players satisfied.
