Take-Two Boss Strauss Zelnick Says He Asked to Be a Playable Character in WWE 2K26 Because 'I Thought It Would Be Funny for Insiders' — but Don't Expect Him to Pop Up in GTA 6

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has revealed that he asked to be a playable character in WWE 2K26's third season content update. The decision to include the high-powered businessman as a character in the game was his idea, and he participated in motion capture for his in-game entrance, which features the song "My Way" by Frank Sinatra. Zelnick, who is 69 years old and weighs 165 pounds, said he thought it would be funny for insiders and perhaps for some consumers. However, he emphasized that he would not appear in GTA 6.
