Take-Two chief executive Strauss Zelnick has predicted that commercially viable game streaming with low enough latency for most players will arrive within about three years. He argues this could greatly expand the number of devices capable of running games, creating new opportunities for widely appealing releases, though the article notes the prediction raises questions about how Grand Theft Auto 6 may be distributed after launch.

Zelnick said streaming could increase the industry’s effective potential audience tenfold, while cautioning that revenue would not rise by the same amount because keen players already own gaming hardware. Take-Two has raised its forecast for fiscal 2027 revenue to $8.2bn, and the article speculates that GTA 6’s absence of a PC release date could make a streaming version plausible before a conventional PC port; however, this remains speculation rather than an announced plan.
