Rockstar is “seeking perfection” with “Grand Theft Auto 6.”
The much-hyped video game is scheduled to be released in 2025, and Rockstar has revealed that it’s been busily working on the new title.
“We’re seeking perfection, and when we feel we’ve optimized creatively, that’s the time to release,” Strauss Zelnick, the CEO of Rockstar’s parent company Take-Two, said during an investor call.
Zelnick, 66, admitted that it’s tricky to find the ideal release date for the new game.
“There is inherent tension, potentially, between getting something to market and creating perfection – but this company errs on the side of perfection,” he explained.
Zelnick also suggested that “Grand Theft Auto 6” will be an even bigger, more ambitious release than the previous “Grand Theft Auto” game.
“Our sense is that the anticipation [for ‘Grand Theft Auto 6’] is much higher — much, much higher. On the other hand, you know, 195 million units [of ‘GTA 5’ sold] to date is nothing to sneeze at. We stop well short of making predictions about how the title will do, but clearly anticipation is running very, very high,” he said.
“Grand Theft Auto V” was released in 2013 and has been a huge hit with consumers, earning $800 million in its first day and $1 billion in its first three days.
