Video games are expensive to make, but budgets for big games are some of the closely guarded secrets in the industry. However, several leaks and court filings reveal that game studios often spend hundreds of millions of dollars on AAA titles like GTA V, Cyberpunk 2077 and others.

Recently, a court filing revealed that Activision spent over $700 million on Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War. However, Star Citizen, one of the most anticipated and ambitious games till date, may soon cross the $1 billion mark. At the time of writing, the game maker revealed on its website that it has already received more than $802 million in funding, making it the most expensive game in the world.
