Take-Two Chief Says Gaming Is Moving to PC as Consoles Evolve

Zelnick frames a shift toward open PC ecosystems reshaping access to big-screen games.

Overview

  • In a CNBC interview, Strauss Zelnick said the industry is trending toward PC and open business models, while the console-style, big-screen game experience will persist.
  • He described the current market split between console and mobile as roughly even, with mobile growing faster than consoles.
  • CNBC reported that Microsoft’s Xbox has hinted at more PC-based thinking for its next generation of hardware.
  • Valve drew attention last week with the announcement of a new Steam Machine that can run PC games on a television or as a standard gaming PC.
  • PC Gamer noted the irony that Grand Theft Auto 6 still lacks a PC announcement despite Take-Two’s PC-forward framing.
