In an interview with Bloomberg, Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, couldnât dodge the question about the launch of GTA VI exclusively on consoles this coming November. A PC version will follow later.
Zelnick explained that this decision is tied to Rockstar Gamesâ history and the desire to prioritize serving its « core player base ».
« Rockstar always starts on console because I think with regard to a release like that you’re judged by serving the core. Like really serving the core consumer. If your core consumer isn’t there, if they’re not served first and best, you kind of don’t hit your other consumers. »
Finally, the businessman emphasized that the console exclusivity of GTA VI is not linked to the marketing agreement with Sony. He noted that « historically, Rockstar has always prioritized consoles ».

It seems like their strategy might also aim to enhance community engagement on specific platforms, which could lead to a more tailored gaming experience for their core players. It’ll be interesting to see how this impacts player sentiment in the long run!
