In an interview with **The Game Business**on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, **Strauss Zelnick**, **CEO**of **Take-Two Interactive**, reassured fans who feared the inclusion of real-world advertisements in**GTA 6**(**Grand Theft Auto VI**).**Check**[it](https://youtu.be/g-b7ZUHQVh4)

Similarly, the executive stated that inserting advertising into a big-budget title is not part of the plans for the **Rockstar Games** franchise.

**Zelnick**argued that it would be “unfair” to consumers who pay between $70 and $80 for a high-end game to have their experience interrupted by ads.

He distinguished **GTA 6**’s business model from other in-house titles, such as **NBA 2K**, where on-court advertising is part of staying true to the real sport, or from **free-to-play** games, where ads are a way to sustain the service’s free nature.

In **GTA 6**, immersion is the priority. This means that radio stations and billboards will continue to focus on biting and satirical parodies.

## A new generation of players ready for GTA 6

Another point addressed by **Zelnick**was the long 13-year hiatus since the release of **GTA 5**. When asked if the older audience would still be willing to dedicate hundreds of hours to a new game, the **CEO**expressed complete confidence.

In his view, there is a massive audience of young people who are now over 17 and were children in 2013, eager to have their first launch experience with the franchise.

The executive joked that he “doesn’t understand” how anyone who owns a next-gen console and is of legal age could say no to **GTA 6**. For **Take-Two**, the game transcends the need to have played previous titles; it is a cultural event that will organically attract both veterans and newcomers.
