Ever Wonder How Much It Costs To Make A Game These Days?

By |

We hear it a lot these days. It costs a lot to develop a game for the 360 and PlayStation 3. But have you ever wondered how much ā€œa lotā€ actually is?

According to research undertaken by M2 ā€“ the same guys responsible for the disturbance in the workforce study ā€“ the average cost of a ā€œmultiplatform next-gen gameā€ is between $18,000,000 and $28,000,000.

You want to know why so many games get binned in pre-production, thatā€™s why; at $28 million, a publisher needs to know (or, to be more realistic, needs to think) a HD game is going to sell millions.

Even if most games inevitably donā€™t.
