Bloomberg reveals GTA 6 development details: budget, scale and delays

Bloomberg published a deep-dive into the making of GTA 6. Rockstar did not give a budget figure but denied the $1.5 billion rumor; the game remains the most expensive ever made. Development took eight years, staff grew from 2,441 to 4,711, and complex NPCs contributed to the delay to Nov. 19.
