Zelnick said that GTA 6 needs to be something that players have never seen before, and that Rockstar’s answer is to seek perfection.
“Let’s create something no one would’ve thought of, but when they see it it fits,”
he said. He also praised Rockstar’s talent and creativity, saying that they are “the best in the business” and that they have “a very clear vision” for their games.
However, Zelnick also admitted that the GTA 6 leaks that surfaced online last year were “really upsetting and frustrating to the team”, as they spoiled some of the surprises and innovations that Rockstar had planned for the game. He said that the leaks did not affect the company or the game from a business perspective, but they were “an emotional matter” for the developers who worked hard on the project.
GTA 6 will raise the bar for the entire industry
Zelnick did not reveal any specific details about GTA 6, such as its release date, setting, or features. He said that he does not want to “steal thunder” from Rockstar, and that he trusts them to announce the game when they are ready. In addition, he expressed confidence that GTA 6 will set new industry standards and become a “massive hit”.
