In response to concerns over whether Grand Theft Auto 6 will run effectively on the Xbox Series S, Take-Two Interactive’s CEO, Strauss Zelnick, has addressed the issue. When GTA 6 was officially announced for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles, some fans and developers raised questions about the Xbox Series S’s capability to handle such a demanding title. Known as the less powerful console in this generation, the Xbox Series S has faced scrutiny, with developers citing it as a potential hurdle to maximizing game performance. For instance, Baldur’s Gate 3 encountered delays on the Xbox platform due to optimization challenges on the Series S, sparking further discussion around its impact on complex games like GTA 6.
However, Zelnick reassured fans during Take-Two’s recent earnings call, stating, “Our labels are really good at supporting platforms despite different levels of tech.” He emphasized that he isn’t worried about the Xbox Series S’s limitations, as the development teams are adept at adapting their games across various platforms. Zelnick underscored Take-Two’s commitment to ensuring players across all current-gen consoles experience GTA 6 without compromise.
Despite the Xbox Series S’s limitations, Zelnick’s comments suggest that Take-Two is confident in delivering GTA 6 across platforms. Fans of the series can expect the game’s release in fall 2025, though a specific date has not been set.
