Zelnick rejects 'missed opportunity' talk as RDR2 hits 85M sales

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick dismissed claims that Red Dead Online represents a missed opportunity, stressing that Red Dead Redemption 2’s multiplayer has been hugely successful with 85 million copies sold. He argues GTA Online remains the primary revenue driver, that Rockstar shifted focus toward GTA 6 and GTA Online, and notes Red Dead Online has seen limited updates since 2021 even as a recent Blood Money drop arrived; a full return of Red Dead Online remains unconfirmed while GTA Online continues to generate far more weekly revenue.

Zelnick Sees Hope Amid BioShock Delay as Take-Two Refines Its Creative Path

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick says he's deeply disappointed by the absence of a new BioShock, acknowledging the long development at Cloud Chamber since 2019 and a leadership shift that brought Rod Fergusson to lead the studio. He notes the project has faced creative dead ends and resets, but remains hopeful that a great BioShock is in the works and that the team is now on a clearer creative path after years of delays.

Zelnick weighs GTA 6 jitters, Zynga rebound and a bet on original IP

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told Variety at Las Vegas’ Interactive Innovation Conference that GTA 6 jitters are real ahead of the November launch, but he aims for creative independence, careful pricing, and staying true to the IP rather than chasing brand partnerships; he also praised Zynga’s rebound under Frank Gibeau, stressed investing in original properties, and noted that pricing news would come soon while pausing a past franchise sequel if the team isn’t passionate.

GTA Online Still Nets Rockstar About $1.3M a Day, Even as GTA 6 Looms

Hackers’ leaked data verified by Eurogamer/Kotaku shows GTA Online still earns roughly $1.3 million per day (about $9.5 million weekly, ~$499 million yearly), with the PS5 version driving most microtransaction revenue and PC accounting for a small slice; Red Dead Online brings in about $507k weekly. The data underscores why Rockstar can continue investing in GTA Online ahead of GTA 6, even as the latter remains in development, and follows a ransom dispute where Rockstar refused to pay.

GTA+ Expands with NBA 2K26 for a Limited-Time Crossover

Rockstar is adding NBA 2K26 to the GTA+ Games Library for a limited window (March 10–April 20) with a 5,000 VC content pack; PS5/Xbox Series players get full access to NBA 2K26 in GTA+ plus a 20% discount to keep it after the library period, and GTA Online will receive basketball-themed outfits. The move marks Take-Two broadening GTA+ beyond Rockstar-published titles, potentially signaling a broader competitive push against Ubisoft/EA, though it could also be a one-off crossover.

GTA 6 Built by Hand, Take-Two Says, While AI Projects Multiply Across the Company

Take-Two’s Strauss Zelnick says generative AI played zero part in GTA 6’s development and that Rockstar handcrafted its worlds, while the company has hundreds of AI pilots and implementations across its studios to boost efficiency. GTA 6 remains on track for a November release, with the earnings call also touching on AI’s broader role and related industry headlines, including Google’s Project Genie and ongoing Rockstar legal/union matters.
