  • A new study by Ebuyer reveals how much gaming properties would cost if you were to purchase them in real life
  • Maze Bank Tower in GTA V would be the most expensive to buy at £2,880,000.00
  • One of the most affordable properties to purchase is Raffia Quinta from Oasis Springs at £28,152.19

Whether you’re using your Simoleons to buy your Sims a new villa, or you’re forking out your bells to Tom Nook in Animal Crossing to upgrade your pad, in-game property prices can be costly. But, have you ever wondered how much they would set you back if you were able to purchase them in real life?

It’s no secret that gaming has become more popular than ever, especially over the last year during the lockdowns. In fact, in 2020 UK consumers spent nearly £2.4 billion on digital consoles and games, up from £1.98 billion the previous year1.

If you’ve got your eye on a fantasy property, Ebuyer has analysed* the gaming property market to determine how much certain properties would cost if you were to buy them here and now (technically speaking). To convert the fictional property prices into GBP, food prices were analysed to estimate the exchange rate due to food being prevalent in all games.

According to the findings, the ten most expensive gaming properties are as follows:

Topping the property rich list is Maze Bank Tower in GTA V. The property in the game is located in Pillbox Hill, Downtown Los Santos, and gamers can purchase the tower from San Andreas’ favourite real estate company, Dynasty 8. And whilst it’ll set you back $4,000,000 in-game, if you could purchase it today in real life, it would cost £2,880,000.00… if only!

Taking the second spot is FFXIV. There are five different houses to purchase in the game, and they vary in price. The most expensive is the large plot, with the large mansion equipped with three floors, and a much bigger garden than the other plots. Costing 37,920,000 Gils in-game, it would set you back £407,640.00 in real life.

But if you’re on a strict budget, the most affordable property of them all is Raffia Quinta. Whilst Sims 4 may have first dropped back in 2014, if you’re an avid simmer, the pad from Oasis Springs would cost you only £28,152.19 to buy today… and if that was the case, we’d all own one! Another cheaper option is the small plot with the small cottage in FFXIV, costing £32,991.75.

Commenting on the research, Andy Roberts, E-Commerce Director of Ebuyer, says: “Often we spend so much time immersed in our gaming universes, there is a suspension of disbelief on the real-life costs of factors such as property and bills!

Gacha gameplay mechanics were the main inspiration behind Infinity Pull, with the BGaming design team drawing on their love of the genre. The game asks players to wager on cards revealed by the chosen waifu. These cards can award exciting multipliers and instant cash prizes, as well as collectable characters. The game’s unique collection aspect makes it endlessly replayable, with players eager to return and complete their sets.

Beyond its unique gameplay and mechanics, Infinity Pull also offers flexibility for operators, with the game’s reskinnable design making it perfect for seasonal promotions and themed events.

Alex Baliukonis, Game Design Team Lead at BGaming, said: “We can’t wait to see how players react to what we have achieved with Infinity Pull. What’s great about it is that you don’t need to have ever played a gacha game to enjoy it. It can be picked up and played by anyone.

At BGaming, we are always trying to push the boundaries and try something new. We believe Infinity Pull has the potential to really capture the imagination of players and inspire a whole new take on casual gaming.”
