Video Game Budget

Today’s “Quadruple A” games, such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Halo 3, and Gran Turismo 5 have stratospheric development budgets of $50 to $60 million. Grand Theft Auto 4 has even been reported as having a development budget of a $100 million. With marketing costs factored in, CoD: MW2’s budget is a reported $200 million!

Ambitious “triple A” games built to establish a new franchise, such as Bioshock or Mirror’s Edge, range in the $20 to $30 million budget. These games have the potential to grow into major new franchises, and their budget reflects that.

By the GameCube/PS2 era, games were in the $10 million range with top-tier games like Final Fantasy warranting a $40 million budget.
