We’re already seeing early signs of that shift with devices like the Steam Machine and the newer handheld gaming PCs: they run dedicated operating systems, yet you can still open a browser and install emulators or other software. Given Xbox’s gradual move away from a strictly closed console model, it’s plausible Microsoft’s next hardware could lean even more toward an open, PC-like ecosystem.
There’s a certain irony to Zelnick’s comments: his company’s most anticipated title—GTA 6—has not been confirmed for PC at launch by Rockstar Games. Based on Rockstar’s past release patterns, a PC port will probably arrive later, which historically has encouraged multiple purchases across platforms. If PC is set to become the dominant platform, it would be preferable for Rockstar to consider day-one PC releases going forward.
Analyst: “Rockstar delaying GTA 6 is a flex” — the studio’s greatest asset is anticipation, so Take-Two appears to be meticulously refining its $2.7 billion project.
