Take-Two CEO says PC and console game experiences are broadly similar
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said PC and console experiences are broadly similar during an investor call.
An analyst asked whether the company wanted to close differences between the platforms, including around roleplaying in Grand Theft Auto.
GTA 5 roleplay has grown through PC mods and custom servers, while console versions do not have those mods.
Take-Two owns FiveM, a multiplayer mod that supports many roleplay servers, and Zelnick said its business is profitable.
The company has not announced a PC release date for GTA 6 or plans for a new version of GTA Online.
GTA 6 is scheduled to launch on consoles on November 19 as a single-player game, and whether roleplaying features will come to future consoles remains unclear.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said PC and console gaming experiences are generally roughly the same.
He made the remarks during an investor call in response to a question about differences in how players engage with Grand Theft Auto on each platform.
Zelnick said PC capabilities today are not materially different from console capabilities.
He also said Take-Two’s FiveM business is profitable and that the company is not “religious” about modding.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to launch on consoles on November 19, with no PC release date announced.
