We'll all be streaming our games in about "three years", says Take-Two boss, raising some post-release questions about GTA 6 "I’m happy to put a timeline on it." In Take-Two's latest financial report, CEO Strauss Zelnick makes some bold statements about the future of the games industry. As the industry reels from Sony's controversial decision to stop manufacturing physical disc-based games,and to pivot to an 'all-digital future', Zelnick reckons we won't only embrace digital games in the future but stream our games, too. "With the advent of streaming - which we really do believe is around the corner in terms of having something that's low latency, and really works well for consumers - machines that weren't game machines before will become game machines," Zelnick said during Take-Two's quarterly earnings call this morning (thanks, Kotaku). And we do have titles like that, obviously." Given that Take-Two has only just revised its projected revenue for the 2027 fiscal year up to $8.2bn, it's safe to say Zelnick knows the market well, and has gone on the record with a few observations about the state of the games industry: he remains skeptical of generative AI, a stance he took before we started to see the largely negative impact the tool has had on the industry.
