Thanks to a marker that didn't quite mark well enough, we now know how much The Last of Us Part 2 cost to make.
A couple games we expect to see on PC someday, Horizon Forbidden West and The Last of Us Part 2, cost a whole lot of money to develop: $212 million for Horizon, and $220 million for The Last of Us Part 2, according to a Sony document.
It's no shocker that big games cost a lot to make , but we don't usually get specific figures straight from companies like Sony, and we're not getting these numbers now because Sony has entered a new era of transparency. Transparency does have something to do with it, though. It turns out that when you put a piece of paper through a scanner, printed text that's been blacked out by a marker can shine just enough to be legible.
