Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick describes GTA 6's upcoming Netflix gameplay premiere on August 27th as just one part of a larger marketing campaign, with more reveals to follow. He characterizes pre-order numbers as 'unprecedented and astonishing' but cautions against reading too much into them since pre-orders can be cancelled. Zelnick is bullish on streaming's future, predicting low-latency game streaming could arrive within three years and potentially expand the install base tenfold. He also dismisses concerns about rising console hardware prices, notes that PC now accounts for 40-50% of sales on day-and-date releases versus 1-2% twenty years ago, and says Take-Two has no plans for post-launch layoffs, describing the company as being in 'growth mode.' He also defended remaining a public company as EA and Devolver go private.
