Grand Theft Auto 6 saw its first trailer in release December of 2023 and received massive praise and excitement from the majority of fans. However, some fans are skeptical that the graphics and look of the game will take a dive once the game hits present gen consoles like the Xbox Series S. CEO of Take-Two, Strauss Zelnick, has attempted to reassure fans that Grand Theft Auto 6 will perform as promoted on all platforms.
We support the platforms where the consumers are for as long as they’re there, and we find a way to support platforms despite different levels of tech. Our labels are really good at that. I’m not really worried.
Zelnick would key in on the company’s interest in the growing side of PC gaming:
I’ve never worried about where hardware was going. And I’ve said this many times over the years because, first of all, I don’t worry about things over which I have zero control. And secondly because I do believe in the audience. The audience is going to show up if you have great properties, and so we just have to make sure to be on an array of platforms.
And if one platform diminishes in value, there’s always another one. So we’re seeing great growth in PC right now, for example. And I have been able to view that open formats would continue to grow. PC is an open format.
He would go on to explain further on the growth of PC gaming, stating:
I do think PC will continue to be a more and more important part of the console business going forward, and that isn’t complicated for us to support at all. So the bottom line is we are selective about which platforms we support. We make the tech work when we can make it work as long as the audience is big enough to make that worthwhile.
Take-Two and Rockstar have Grand Theft Auto 6 slated to be released around the fall of 2025.
