It’s not often we’re told how much a company spends making a video game. So when Sony discloses how much coin was spent developing God Of War III, we’ll note it down.

According to John Hight, from Sony’s Santa Monica studio, the blockbuster cost USD$44 million. With the average cost of producing a current-gen game standing at $18-28 million, you can see Sony went the extra mile with this one.

Of course, even $44 million is nothing compared to Gran Turismo 5′s reported budget of over $60 million.
