Microsoft / Rare never disclosed the development budget. The 40M-players figure (April 2024, across Xbox, PC and Steam) is official but counts registered players/accounts, not copies sold. Copies: 5M on Steam by 2021 (official) and ~1M on PS5 after the April 2024 PS5 launch (analyst estimate) — it was the 2nd best-selling US game in its PS5 launch week.
