Take-Two chief is ‘deeply disappointed’ that we still don’t have a new BioShock game

The BioShock franchise has not released a new installment since BioShock Infinite in 2013. In 2018, Hangar 13 began preliminary work on a new title, but it did not progress into a full project. Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, expressed disappointment over the delays but was not surprised. The franchise is currently under the management of Cloud Chamber, which has appointed a new director and is reworking fundamental elements of the series. Following restructuring, over 80 employees, about one-third of Cloud Chamber's workforce, were laid off. The development of the next BioShock installment is still in its early stages.

GTA 6 skipping PC at launch not due to PlayStation deal, but because Rockstar focuses on “the core consumer,” Take-Two CEO says

GTA 6 will launch exclusively on consoles, with a PC version expected later. Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick stated that this decision is to prioritize the core audience rather than due to a marketing deal with Sony. He emphasized that Rockstar traditionally releases on consoles first to serve its core consumers effectively. The significance of the PC market has increased, with PC sales for major titles now accounting for 45-50% of total revenue, compared to just 5% in the late 2000s. A leak suggests that the delay in the PC release may be influenced by the financial success of GTA Online, which generates 97% of its revenue from console players.
