Halo Infinite: 10 Promising Rumours You Must Hear

10. The Most Expensive Game Ever Made

A big budget is to be expected from Microsoft’s Triple-A, flagship game, but Halo Infinite is rumoured to not only have a big budget, but break records and become the most expensive video game ever made. German magazine Xbox Dynasty reported in April 2019 that Infinite has a production budget of over $500 million.

To put this mind-bending figure into perspective, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and Grand Theft Auto 5, reportedly cost around the $250 million mark to develop and market, and are widely thought to be two of the most expensive video games ever made.

Infinite would be doubling this in production costs alone. We can only shudder at what the Monster and Doritos marketing costs will add to that.

Big money doesn’t equal a successful game, but if this rumour is true it signals a commitment to the quality of Halo Infinite, and the resources Microsoft and 343 Industries are devoting to it.
