Zelnick tells Take-Two's annual meeting PC is "more and more important", and defends GTA 6 delays

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said at the company's virtual annual shareholder meeting on September 17 that "the PC platform is becoming more and more important to our company over time." GamesRadar+ and PC Gamer both reported the remark. Zelnick did not give a date or say anything specific about a GTA 6 PC version.

The PC comment came in answer to a stockholder's question about whether PS5 Pro shortages were changing Take-Two's plans for PC. Zelnick said he took it to be about "the cadence of PC launches." He said the company's strategy is generally to launch on platforms with a meaningful audience, and that it could change that approach if a platform stopped being viable.

GamesRadar+ also reported that Zelnick read out another shareholder question. It complained of "years of delays, missed expectations" and reliance on a few big franchises, and asked whether the board would replace management if that continued. Zelnick said that if the board found the team lacking, it would be replaced, but he disagreed with how the question described things.

He pointed to where the company stood when his management team took over in March 2007, when he said revenue was under a billion dollars and the company was very nearly bankrupt. He said Take-Two's revenue was guided to between $8 billion and $8.2 billion for the year. GamesRadar+ noted that GTA 6 had been delayed twice since it was officially confirmed in 2023 and was now set for November 19.

Rockstar and Take-Two had said GTA 6 would launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Neither had announced a PC release or a timeframe, and PC Gamer called Zelnick's response confusing, reading it as a sign he did not want to talk about a PC version. Whether one was planned, and when, remained unconfirmed by the company.
