https://exputer.com/news/games/starfield-200-million-budget-500-devs/@Non-Edgy Gamer by the way, where did you get that $300M? I can only find $200M and RDR2 had a budget of $170M, that's not too much of a difference. Also considering they have a completely new universe, they have tons of voiced dialogue, and we don't really know what is going on under the hood. We also don't know how much content they have already done but are holding back for the announced DLC. We also don't know if that budget isn't planned for all content, including future DLCs. What we are seeing now may have cost them only $100M.... unless you have a better source my answer is we simply don't know yet and we have to see until the game is fully released with all DLCs and official updates.
All estimates though. Considering how half-assed the game is, the randomly generated content, and the high likelihood that a lot of the 500-member team was probably located in countries like India, it could be only 150 million for all I know.It’s unclear as of yet how much Starfield will cost in total with all other parameters combined, but speculation says that the final figure should be somewhere around $300-400 million, considering the stature of the title at hand and the amount of time it’s been under development. Moreover, if the 500-member development team part is correct, costs are certain to be quite higher than $200 million.
But that's still a lot more than No Man's Sky's budget with a fraction of the team.
