Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has made bold predictions about the future of the games industry in the latest financial report. As the industry transitions to an all-digital model following Sony's decision to stop manufacturing physical disc-based games, Zelnick believes we will not only embrace digital games, but also begin streaming them.
He is confident that streaming technology will be widely available within three years, potentially multiplying the effective install base by ten. While this could significantly boost revenue, Zelnick remains cautious about generative AI's impact on the industry. His comments raise questions about the future of GTA 6, specifically whether it will be released on a streaming platform before a PC port, or if streaming technology like Xbox Helix or PS6 will take precedence over traditional media.
