xbox360 - How much does it cost to produce a major video game?


I asked this same question here, but was closed and told to ask it on this site instead.


How much would it cost to develop a video game. I mean like a major PS3/360 video game. I know there really is no set price; but there has to be a pall bark, 100 grand, 10 mil, etc.


I am asking how much the games cost to make, (studio cost, developer salaries, etc.)


Examples would be nice.



Answer



Somewhere between $20M and $100M would be reasonable depending on genre for a AAA game. XBLA/PSN downloadable games often cost much less, and people have made XBLIG games for a few hundred dollars in their spare time. As a recent example, APB was rumored to have cost $100M (MMOs are among the most expensive games to produce).
