Zelnick on Completing GTA 6, Its Launch, and PC and Nintendo Switch 2 Ports

Grand Theft Auto VI has completed development and remains scheduled for release on November 19, with no further delays expected. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick discussed the game in interviews following the company’s latest financial report.

Zelnick said he believes Rockstar Games has delivered the best work in its history with GTA 6. The company’s current focus is on delivering the best possible product to consumers. Preloading has been moved forward by two days to give players more time to download the game.

Pre-Orders and Initial Sales Performance

Zelnick declined to comment on estimates from third-party analysts. He said expectations for pre-orders were already high, but actual results exceeded them. The forecasts were based on the number of console installations.

Take-Two plans to share more details about GTA VI’s financial performance after release.

The Future

Zelnick said Rockstar Games will take less time to release its next projects. He did not elaborate, so it is unclear what the studio plans to work on next.

Support for GTA Online will continue, including new content. Asked about Grand Theft Auto 6 coming to PC and Nintendo Switch 2, Zelnick did not give a direct answer. He said any relevant announcements would come from the developers.

Take-Two has a strong presence in North America, the UK, Western Europe, and parts of Asia. The company is also interested in expanding into India, Africa, South America, and other regions where its games currently generate relatively little revenue.
