How Much Did It Cost To Make Detroit Become Human

The Million Dollar Question (Well, Actually €30 Million): How Much Did Detroit: Become Human Cost to Make?

Ever wondered how much it takes to bring a world of androids, existential crises, and robo-revolution to life? We're talking about a game so rich in detail, you can practically feel the rain on Connor's cybernetic hair (if he even has hair, that's a whole other existential question). Buckle up, because we're about to dive into the not-so-secret world of Detroit: Become Human's budget.

Breaking the Bank for Broken Down Androids

According to whispers in the gaming industry (and the internet, because everything is on the internet these days), the development cost of Detroit: Become Human landed somewhere around €30 million. That's a hefty chunk of change, folks! Enough to buy a small island inhabited entirely by Markus-worshipping androids (although, where would they get the biocomponents? Existential crisis intensifies).

Here's Where That Money Probably Went

  • All Those Fancy Graphics: Let's face it, the world of Detroit: Become Human is stunning. From the grimy streets of Detroit (because of course it's Detroit) to the sterile laboratories of CyberLife, the developers didn't skimp on the visuals. Every blade of grass (or whatever passes for grass in a future filled with androids) seems meticulously rendered. That kind of detail doesn't come cheap, folks. It probably cost more than your last graphics card.
  • A Cast of Thousands (Well, Dozens): We're not just talking about your average A-list Hollywood actors here. We've got performance capture, voice acting, and enough digital tears to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool (courtesy of Kara, we see you!). All that emotional baggage doesn't come cheap, either.
  • Those Branching Narratives, Man!: One of the things that makes Detroit: Become Human so special is the sheer number of choices you get to make. Every decision you take ripples through the story, creating a unique experience for every player. But think about all those different paths they had to develop! That's some serious choose-your-own-adventure madness, and it probably cost a small fortune to bring to life.

So, Was it Worth It?

Only you can answer that, dear reader. But hey, at least you know where your money went (hopefully into a game that made you question the very nature of existence).

How To Detroit: Become Human on a Budget

  • Wait for a Sale: Patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to video games. Keep an eye out for sales and discounts, and you might be able to snag Detroit: Become Human for a fraction of the cost.
  • Borrow from a Friend: Be the friend you wish you had and lend your copy to someone else once you're done. Just make sure they promise not to get Kara killed (because seriously, who does that?).
  • Become an Android Yourself: Okay, this one's a bit out there, but hey, if you manage to become an advanced AI with the ability to earn money, you won't have to worry about a budget anymore. Just be careful not to develop sentience and overthrow humanity, alright?

    • We're kidding. Please don't overthrow humanity.
