Take-Two boss asserts GTA 6 launch date in 'man-on-the-street'-style TikTok interview

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick reiterated *Grand Theft Auto 6*’s launch date as November 19 in a viral TikTok interview with *The School of Hard Knocks*. During the street-style chat, Zelnick directly responded to the question about the release date, stating the game will arrive as planned despite prior delays. He explained Rockstar’s development challenges stem from aiming to create something groundbreaking, which requires significant time and effort. The interview also touched on Take-Two’s financial growth, with Zelnick noting the company’s revenue jumped from $6.7 billion in 2023 to an anticipated $8 billion in 2024. This follows Zelnick’s earlier confirmation of the November 19 release date in a separate interview with business podcaster David Zenra, reinforcing consistency in Take-Two’s messaging. Reports of intense development crunch at Rockstar surfaced earlier this year, raising concerns about whether the studio can meet the deadline. With less than six months remaining, pressure is mounting to deliver *GTA 6* on time, given its status as one of the most anticipated games in history. Fans remain eager for updates on gameplay, characters, and the game’s setting, which have been teased in prior leaks and trailers. Zelnick’s appearance on TikTok marked the second time in a month he has addressed the release date publicly, signaling Take-Two’s confidence in the November launch. The interview also briefly covered broader business advice, though the focus remained on *GTA 6*’s progress and the company’s financial trajectory. As the countdown continues, speculation about the game’s final features and potential surprises persists among the gaming community.
