Take-Two has confirmed in its latest earnings call that the highly anticipated GTA 6 is on track to meet its November 19 release date, but CEO Strauss Zelnick also took a moment to address a far older Rockstar title–Grand Theft Auto Online. Zelnick has reconfirmed his belief that Rockstar will continue supporting the popular multiplayer game, as long as people continue to play it.
The first details about a potential GTA 6 online multiplayer mode were recently leaked as part of the Rockstar v. union court battle in the UK, revealing that Rockstar is testing 32-player sessions similar to the multiplayer sessions in GTA Online. However GTA 6 having a similar online mode doesn’t necessarily mean that 2013’s GTA Online will be sunset, at least according to Strauss Zelnick.
“Rockstar Games is the locus of information about, you know, where the titles go content and marketing, and generally we have a pretty light touch when we talk about the labelβs creative activities,” Zelnick said, as reported by Kotaku. “At the same time, I have every reason to believe we’ll continue to support GTA Online. There’s a great community that loves it, that stays engaged. And again in this quarter, Rockstar has shown that when you deliver great additional content, despite how long [GTA Online] has been at market, people show up.”
