Zelnick says any disc or PC news is coming from Rockstar, not him

Strauss Zelnick got asked about a GTA 6 disc release and a PC version, and his answer was basically "ask Rockstar." Which, if you've been following Take-Two for five minutes, is the most Zelnick answer possible.

Per Insider Gaming, the Take-Two CEO made it clear that any info on physical media or a PC port would come from Rockstar themselves rather than from the publisher's earnings calls or investor chats. That's it. No timeline, no hint, no wink. Just a redirect.

why this is annoying but also not surprising

We already know the boxed copies situation is a bit weird. The first photo of the PS5 box turned out to be a code in a box, and the physical edition comes with a poster but no map. So people are already twitchy about what "disc release" even means for this game. Zelnick pointing at Rockstar doesn't settle any of that.

On PC, there's still nothing official. Launch is PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, and no PC version has been announced. Anyone telling you otherwise is guessing. The CEO confirming that Rockstar would be the ones to say something isn't a confirmation of anything, it's just where the megaphone lives.

what I'm actually taking from it

Two things. One, Take-Two isn't going to leak their own roadmap on an investor call, so stop expecting it. Two, Rockstar controls the message on this stuff completely, which means if a PC announcement or proper disc details drop, it'll be a Rockstar Newswire post or a trailer, not a financial disclosure.

Doesn't stop me refreshing the Newswire like an idiot. But at least now I know which door to stand outside of.

Do you reckon we get a PC announcement before launch, or are we waiting until well into 2027?
