GTA 7 Will Cost Less Than GTA 6

GTA 6 is expected to be the largest and most expensive video game ever developed. However, according to a former Rockstar Games developer, with the advancement of artificial intelligence technologies, the production process of GTA 7 can be completed at a much lower cost. The need for manpower will decrease, especially with the introduction of artificial intelligence in areas such as map design and cutscenes.

GTA 7 May Be More Cost-Effective Thanks to Artificial Intelligence

Rockstar Games’ former technical leader Obbe Vermeij stands out as a name who has worked on important projects such as GTA Vice City, San Andreas and GTA 4. Vermeij evaluated both the cost of GTA 6 and the future GTA 7 in a podcast broadcast he attended. According to him, while GTA 6’s huge budget was based on manual labor, most of the same processes in GTA 7 can be automated with the support of artificial intelligence.

Vermeij thinks that GTA 7 could be a much bigger game, but that this size won’t be reflected in the budget. The developer, who said, “GTA 7 will be cheaper than GTA 6,” suggested that large sections such as map design could now be done by AI. This means that there could be a significant decrease in the number of artist teams. The developer says that this change will be felt within five years.

According to his statements, GTA 6 could hold the title of the most expensive game in history for a long time because it was developed using traditional methods. Vermeij said, “I don’t think there will be a bigger game than GTA 6 because a lot of the work will now be done by AI, whether you like it or not,” indicating that there will be a major transformation in the production method.

GTA 6 is expected to be released in 2026 and is already thought to revolutionize the gaming world. It is stated that GTA 7 will be an important example in terms of showing how artificial intelligence technologies will shape game development in the long term.
