Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games (GTA 6's developer), has revealed its strategic focus on creating new intellectual properties (IPs) to ensure long-term success.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, during the company's Q2 2025 investor call, addressed the future of its iconic franchises, including Grand Theft Auto (GTA) and Red Dead Redemption (RDR). While acknowledging the current success of these legacy IPs, Zelnick emphasized that their value will inevitably decline over time.
He highlighted the inherent "decay and entropy" affecting all products and brands, noting that even successful sequels eventually see diminishing returns. Zelnick warned against over-reliance on established franchises, stating that failing to develop new IPs would be akin to "burning the furniture to heat the house."
According to PCGamer's transcription, Zelnick explained that while sequels are lower-risk ventures, the company must innovate to maintain growth and avoid stagnation.
