80 Euro for GTA 6 and nearly 100 Euro for the Ultimate Edition isn’t a bargain, but it’s not excessively expensive either. Another game costs up to 160 Euro – even though it releases annually.
Recent reports suggest that the developers at Take-Two have invested an estimated 1 to 1.5 billion USD into the development of GTA 6. While other games have costs running into hundreds of millions, none have surpassed the billion mark, translating to over 877 million Euros.
As GTA 6 is set to release on November 19, there may yet be additional costs incurred during the final stages of development. One logical conclusion fans are drawing is that gamers will need to dig deep into their pockets to purchase this highly anticipated racing game. However, the prices of 79.99 for the Standard Edition and 99.99 Euro for the Ultimate Edition remain relatively reasonable – a stark contrast to the pricing for EA Sports FC 27.
High Development Costs for GTA 6: EA Sports FC 27 Price Significantly Higher
Just yesterday, the prices for FC 27 were announced, and here’s the big surprise: while the Standard Edition also costs 79.99 Euro, the Ultimate Edition comes in at a staggering 109.99 Euro. For those seeking extensive bonuses, a hefty 159.99 Euro is required.
This means FC 27 is pricier than GTA 6, despite EA Sports releasing the game annually – a point humorously highlighted in a post by @hustlehard59z on X (formerly Twitter).
Fans have eagerly anticipated GTA 6, likely since shortly after the release of GTA 5 in September 2013. While players can immerse themselves in Vice City starting November 19, kicks and shots precision returns in FC 27 beginning September 25.
Fans speculate that the development costs of EA Sports FC games range between 100 and 300 million USD. Fair to say, many may not purchase the older versions anymore, compelling EA to recoup these costs within the year. A brief investigation reveals that the publisher has garnered over 7 billion USD in annual revenue in recent years.
Pre-orders for GTA 6 are already available at various retailers, and potential buyers should consider two questions before choosing. Why is FC 27 Ultimate Plus touted as the best version? More details can be found in the linked article. For those sticking with Ultimate, a trick exists to save some cash.
