Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has dismissed concerns that a dispute with former Rockstar Games employees or the decision to release Grand Theft Auto VI without a physical disc could harm the game's launch. In a recent interview, Zelnick stated he is "not in the least" worried about these issues affecting the highly anticipated title.
The comments come amid ongoing discussions about the game's digital-only release, which has sparked debate among fans. Additionally, a group of ex-Rockstar employees have been vocal about working conditions, but Zelnick expressed confidence in the company's approach and the game's development progress.
Zelnick emphasized that the company's focus remains on delivering a high-quality experience for players. He also noted that digital distribution has become increasingly standard in the industry, and the company is prepared to meet consumer demand.
As of August 2026, GTA 6 is scheduled for release in 2026, though an exact date has not been confirmed. The game is expected to be one of the biggest entertainment launches of the year.
