Star Citizen | $48,000 DLC sets new record for highest individual price
609 View2024-01-08The developers of Star Citizen have set two new records once again: a $48,000 DLC expansion pack and the potential to become the most expensive game in development history, surpassing $600 million, due to the sales of this expansion pack.
Named "Legatus 2953", this game expansion pack includes all ship and weapon skins available in Star Citizen to date: "including all ships released and concepted through 2953, empowers every fleet commander to forge a lasting legacy, leading humanity towards a brighter future." However, not every player is eligible to purchase this comprehensive skin collection. Only players who have historically spent a minimum of $10,000 in the game can buy it.
This is not the first time Star Citizen has introduced high-priced DLC. In 2018, they launched a DLC priced at $27,000. In 2017, the game officials amended the user agreement to close the channel for crowdfunding refunds, meaning that even if you feel deceived, there is no chance to reconsider your purchase.

The game first made its appearance on Kickstarter in 2012. Since then, it has been continuously raising funds through the sale of DLCs and in-game items, with the total getting close to $600 million. As of now, the game is still in the testing phase and has not been officially released. It is anticipated that in the brand-new year of 2024, the crowdfunding total of $600 million will continue to rise.

CD Projekt Red Spent Over $80 Million On A Single Cyberpunk 2077 Expansion
On October 5, during an investor’s presentation, CDPR revealed the total budget for Phantom Liberty. Its costs were split between zł275 million on “direct production expenditures” and another zł95 million on “marketing campaign costs.” If we do some converting, that equals out to just about $63 million and $21 million in USD, respectively, or roughly $84 million total.
As a point of comparison, it reportedly cost $174 million to develop Cyberpunk 2077. That number gets ever larger when you factor in the $142 million CDPR spent on marketing the dystopian RPG. Looking at these numbers, it’s almost impressive how little money CDPR spent on marketing the new DLC compared to the main game.
