Take-Two CEO Says Gaming ‘is Moving Towards PCs’

In an interview with CNBC, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick had some feedback concerning the console/PC debate. In reality, it appears he’s taken a facet in the entire debacle.

The divide between PC and console gaming has been a fairly lengthy one. Exclusives on one, higher high quality on the opposite, all of it appears to shuttle. Take-Two, recognized for publishing the Grand Theft Auto and NBA 2K, has been on each fronts. Every month, it appears the corporate finds itself on the best-selling checklist for consoles for its catalog of sports activities video games. While it’ll take some time for the corporate to see a much bigger pay day with Grand Theft Auto 6 delayed, it appears the CEO has some ideas on the console/PC divide.

Zelnick Says “Business is Moving Towards Open” to PC in Recent Interview

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick sat down with CNBC’s Squawk Box for an interview on gaming. While on the subject of console gaming, Zelnick acknowledged,

“I think it’s moving towards PC and business is moving towards open rather than closed,” says Zelnick. “But if you define console as the property, not the system, then the notion of a very rich game that you engage in for many hours that you play on a big screen — that’s never going away.”

His feedback do come at a handy time, as Valve introduced the upcoming console, the Steam Machine, which might play Steam video games in your TV. Similarly, Xbox and Microsoft have veered a bit in direction of PC avid gamers, as latest statements from figures within the firm point out a change in tone from consoles. Weirdly, Take-Two’s largest upcoming launch, Grand Theft Auto 6, has not been introduced for PC. Its final entry, Grand Theft Auto 5, didn’t see a PC launch till two years after launching in 2013. In any case, it appears the corporate could also be gearing to open up with PC gaming greater than ever.

What do you consider Zelnick’s feedback? Do you suppose PC is the way in which to go? Or is console higher? Do you suppose GTA 6 goes to PC? Let us know within the feedback and on the official Insider Gaming Discord!
