It was released on September 16, 1997, for Swerve Records and was produced by Baby Beesh, PSD, Jay Tee, Funk Daddy, Dave G. and Johnny Z.

Game Costs found little success outside of the Bay Area and did not make it to the Billboard charts.

The album includes the popular track "Every Damn Day" (a.k.a.

"Every Damn Day I Smoke Dank") which, over the years, has been wrongly attributed to another Bay Area rapper, Mac Dre.

Performing with PSD on "Every Damn Day" is the Bay Area rapper, Mac Lee.
