Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick says that though the GTA 6 leak did not have any "business" impact, the development team was affected by it "as a personal and emotional matter."
Despite the critical success of Marvel's Midnight Suns, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick believes that the launch window may have had something to do with low sales.
The CEO of Take-Two has revealed his thoughts about emerging technologies like AI and cloud gaming, and how they won't affect game development too much.
Franchise sales are over 77 million sold-in, up by two million from the previous quarter. Borderlands 2 is nearly at 27 million units sold-in.
Franchise sales for Grand Theft Auto crossed 385 million sold-in, while Red Dead Redemption is at over 70 million sold-in worldwide.
Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick has reiterated a statement originally made by Rockstar about the leaks not affecting development on Grand Theft Auto 6.
"Microsoft is an ally of ours, and if this makes their business more powerful we think that’s good for us," says Strauss Zelnick.
It's a few years away, and the developer can't share anything more, but it's excited to "keep working on this beloved franchise."
A known Rockstar Games insider has stated that Grand Theft Auto 6's post-launch content plans include single-player DLC alongside content for Grand Theft Auto Online.
The franchise has sold over 68 million units worldwide and it's still the second best-selling title in the US in the past five years based on dollar sales.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick made the bold statement during a financial update, stating that GTA 6 will set a creative benchmark for all entertainment.
