Take-Two CEO Discusses GTA 6 and GTA 7

TapTechNews June 3rd news, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick was interviewed at the recent TDCowen 52nd Annual Technology, Media and Telecom Conference, and talked about the highly anticipated PC version of Grand Theft Auto 6 and the more distant future - Grand Theft Auto 7.

The conference host estimated that Grand Theft Auto 5 has achieved a revenue of 10 billion US dollars ($10 billion) (TapTechNews note: currently about 72.6 billion yuan) since its release, and Zelnick agreed, saying it's very close. Then the topic turned to Grand Theft Auto 6. The host asked: 'Do you think Grand Theft Auto 6 can go further in terms of revenue and influence like Grand Theft Auto 5?'

Zelnick said: 'After Rockstar released the trailer, the Internet almost crashed. The trailer had 93 million views within 24 hours on YouTube, which is a record, and this is just a trailer. There is no doubt that the players' expectations are extremely high.'

Regarding the news of the PC version of Grand Theft Auto 6, Zelnick did not respond positively, only saying: 'Not announcing doesn't mean it won't land on the PC platform. Announcing or not announcing, both possibilities exist. Rockstar has an established strategy in terms of the release platform, and they will announce more news at the appropriate time. We always believe that we should be where the players are, which is what the company has always done, that is, to meet the players' needs on any suitable platform.'

At the end of the interview, when Zelnick talked about the distant future, he suddenly mentioned Grand Theft Auto 7: 'Although we haven't released Grand Theft Auto 6 yet, but looking forward to the future...' The host jokingly interrupted: 'Grand Theft Auto 7?' Zelnick responded with a smile: 'I can imagine some things for sure.'
