Take-Two CEO Forecasts Game Streaming in Three Years

Zelnick stated that streaming technology with minimal latency will soon allow machines previously unsuitable for games to function as game devices. He placed the shift to commercial streaming around three years away and noted that such platforms could increase the effective install base by a factor of ten.

The executive clarified that a tenfold rise in the install base would not translate into ten times the revenue. Core players already own dedicated hardware, so the main benefit would come from reaching audiences outside traditional markets with broadly appealing titles.

The absence of a PC date for GTA 6 combined with strong pre-order demand leaves open the possibility of an earlier streaming debut. According to Eurogamer, Take-Two has a history of maximizing availability across platforms, which could extend to streaming services even if physical media faces resistance.
