Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, has identified a business shift towards PC gaming as publishers increasingly launch games on the platform.
Industry Trends
Zelnick noted the evolution towards open gaming systems. He described the changes as console publishers release more titles on PC, adapting to the rising popularity of handheld PCs like the Steam Deck.
- The gaming industry is trending towards open platforms rather than closed systems, according to Zelnick.
- PC gaming is seeing a surge, with more traditionally console-focused games available for PC.
- Handheld PCs like the Steam Deck are gaining traction, blending traditional console features with PC flexibility.
Console Market Stability
Zelnick acknowledged that consoles, characterized by rich gaming experiences on large screens, remain a staple in the market. While PC adoption grows, traditional consoles are not disappearing.
Future Prospects
Regarding upcoming releases, Zelnick refrained from confirming a simultaneous PC release for Grand Theft Auto 6, although historical patterns suggest a potential later PC launch.
