Zelnick to IGN: GTA 6 Not Delayed Again

What did Zelnick tell IGN?

Official In an interview published with Take-Two’s second-quarter results, IGN asked whether another delay is possible. Zelnick answered that GTA 6 is not going to be delayed again. Asked how he feels 10 days before launch, he said “optimistic.”

Official On a possible internet crunch, Zelnick said the company is very focused on a smooth delivery for customers. Take-Two executive Hannah Sage added that the pre-load starts on 10 November to minimise that impact. He also said Take-Two intends to keep supporting GTA Online with new content.

Official On piracy and AI game clones, Zelnick said he does not see it as a financial threat but as a creative one, and that Take-Two protects its intellectual property vigilantly. On NBA 2K27, he said it sold 4 million units, is the second best NBA 2K release ever, and that GTA 6 coming may have affected consumers this season.
