## Key points

- Take-Two expects GTA 6 piracy as part of the industry.
- Zelnick says large files and hardware challenges can limit it.
- The company is prepared to use legal and technical measures.

## Summary

Take-Two chief executive Strauss Zelnick says piracy is an expected part of entertainment, including the games industry, and is not currently a major concern around GTA 6. He says the company will act if it becomes a problem, using legal and technical measures.

Zelnick cited his past experience in film and music, estimating that 10–20% of films were pirated at a given time and that piracy once accounted for about 80% of the record market. He said large game files and the challenges of running releases on modern hardware can limit piracy, though they do not eliminate it; Take-Two has previously taken legal action against unofficial GTA 5 multiplayer services.
