Grand Theft Auto 6 is still on-track to release in just under six months. And while it\u2019s too soon to claim the title will receive the same critical acclaim that Grand Theft Auto 5 received in 2013, Strauss Zelnick–the CEO of Rockstar Games\u2019 parent company, Take-Two Interactive–is confident the sequel will receive high reviews. He also believes the glowing response to Rockstar\u2019s previous games reflects well on the company itself. <\/p>\n
\u201cRockstar\u2019s scores are typically in the mid-90s, sometimes high 90s,\u201d Zelnick said during an interview with The Game Business. \u201cNot many games can say that. And that\u2019s a reflection on Rockstar\u2019s commitment to quality.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zelnick also acknowledged that great reviews still matter for games like GTA 6, but his fellow guest, Future content director Dan Dawkins, suggested that the gaming media landscape has greatly changed in the 13 years since GTA 5 was released. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe media and cultural environment has completely transformed,\u201d Dawkins said. \u201cAt that point in time … it was easier–not easy, but easier–to handpick the journalists you wanted to review that game ahead of time. I was one of those journalists. Social media is so noisy. And someone has to be first to say the thing you like is rubbish. Someone will do that. All narratives are available at once now, about everything. Rockstar are going to get, from the gates, some dissenting voices.\u201d<\/p>\n
Regardless, Zelnick remains bullish about GTA 6\u2019s prospects, even in the face of rising costs for everyday needs. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf you give people what they want in the entertainment business, they will come out for it,\u201d Zelnick told IGN earlier this week. He also hinted that GTA 6 will have a \u201creasonable price,\u201d but has yet to specify what it will be.<\/p>\n
If GTA 6 hadn\u2019t been delayed, it would have released earlier this week. Instead, it will launch on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19. Rockstar recently reaffirmed that release date in the face of another rumored delay.<\/p>\n
