It looks like Grand Theft Auto IV isn’t just one of the best games of all time, it was also the most expensive to make. With almost four years of work and a production crew of over 1,000 people, Grand Theft Auto IV has secured its place as the most expensive game title to date, costing $100 million to produce, topping Sega’s Shenmue, released in 1999 and costing $70 million.

GTA series are the best.
Wonder how much was spent to cure cancer.
