Rockstar Games' upcoming open-world action game “Grand Theft Auto V” may have cost up to £170 million (approximately $266 million) to develop and market, according to a report by Scottish newspaper The Scotsman.
The article claims that industry analysts are predicting that up to 25 million copies of the game could be sold in its first year on the market, representing more than £1 billion ($1.56 billion) in sales, an identical figure to the one given by EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich in November last year.
In January last year, a Los Angeles Times report revealed that BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic had cost $200 million to develop. By comparison, Sony's PlayStation-exclusive racer, Gran Turismo 5, cost around $60 million to produce.
Grand Theft Auto V will be released on September 17th on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, while Grand Theft Auto Online will be launching on October 1st.
