Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most expensive game ever made

[P4-630]

CD Projekt Red has revealed how much it cost to produce and market Cyberpunk 2077.
So much has been invested in this game that it toppled Grand Theft Auto.

The development and promotion of the game cost the studio more than USD 300 million,
a lot more than the USD 265 million GTA V and USD 250 million Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
CD Projekt Red previously announced that Cyberpunk 2077 will The company's best-selling game and that it has broken all records of the studio,
that now also appears to apply to the amount of money spent on the game.

The costs incurred include the 530 developers and more than 2000 voice actors who provided the game with voice overs.
The availability in 18 languages also resulted in considerable costs. In any case, the company has more than doubly recouped the costs incurred.

And now waiting for GTA VI to break all records.....

Seems my source HWI wasn't up to date with that....
Checked at wiki, they say it was RDR2.
Title adjusted.

Looks like they will spend tens of millions USD on patching the game over the next couple of years.

So the money was not an issue, yet the game... well, yeah. That could have gone so much better.

I really hope they will. Patch 1.2 was truly massive and a good step towards what the game should have been, but bugfixes are not gameplay mechanic fixes - which are highly unlikely.

The February build on PC was perfectly playable. Not ideal but fine. I'm playing through Assassin's Creed Valhalla right now and the game is on par in terms of bugs. Animations not working properly, audio cutting out sometimes, people sounding like they're under water, a lot more crashes than CP2077 (but haven't had one in the past 13 or so hours of gameplay), sticky controls like being unable to stop aiming with the bow, NPCs getting stuck, you name it.

Console versions aside, CP2077 after the hot fixes was as good/bad as AC Valhalla. But I'm finding both to be playable. But both should've been better. Console versions aside, I think the outrage on PC is overblown for CP2077. Console versions are understandable.
