Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has spoken about the planned Fall 2025 release window for Grand Theft Auto 6, and the publisher is going to handle its release.
In a recent earnings call, Zelnick spoke about how, despite the potential success of GTA 6, the studio can’t afford to get arrogant about it.
During the Q&A session of the call, Zelnick spoke about how, rather than being arrogant about GTA 6 being a massive upcoming release, Take-Two is instead cautious, and even scared of what competition in the wider gaming industry will be doing. “We believe that arrogance is the enemy of continued success,” Zelnick said in the Q&A session of the Take-Two Interactive earnings call. “We run scared.
We’re looking over our shoulder. Our competitors are not asleep. And so what do we do about that? We try to be the most creative, the most innovative, and the most efficient company in the entertainment industry.
And Rockstar Games in particular seeks perfection in everything they do. And we believe that if we do that right, and we focus on delivering for consumers, that’s our best opportunity to succeed.” This follows Zelnick’s earlier statements from the earnings call talking about how GTA 6 is still on track for release in Fall 2025.
