The parent company of Rockstar Take-Two Interactive “href =” https://www.videogameschronicle.com/companies/take-two-interactive/ “> Take-Two offered a non-compromise response when asked about the potential for remastering of Grand Theft oldest car games on Monday.
During the company’s third quarter earnings conference call, Take-Two revealed that Grand Theft Auto V reached another important sales milestone.
“Grand Theft Auto V remains one of the most iconic titles ever released and continues to exceed our expectations, having sold more than 140 million units”, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick “href =” https: // www. videogameschronicle.com / people / strauss-zelnick / “> Strauss Zelnick said.
“In fact, on the 2020 calendar, more copies of Grand Theft Auto V were sold than in any other year, except in 2013, when it was released on PS3 and Xbox 360″ href = “https://www.videogameschronicle.com / platforms / xbox / x360 / “> Xbox 360.”
During the question and answer session of the conference call, an analyst suggested that a significant portion of GTA V players may never have played previous games in the series. Given the huge appetite for GTA content, he asked about Take-Two’s perspective on possible Grand Theft Auto remasters.
“It is an excellent and encouraging question,” answered Zelnick. “I’m inclined to make this more of a statement than a question and any updates to our release schedule will come from Rockstar Games” href = “https://www.videogameschronicle.com/companies/take-two-interactive / rockstar -games / “> Rockstar Games.”
Rockstar is poised to bring an “expanded and enhanced” version of GTA V to next generation consoles in the second half of 2021, including a standalone version of Grand Theft Auto V “href =” https://www.videogameschronicle.com/ games / grand-theft-auto-v / “> Grand Theft Auto Online which will be free for PlayStation 5” href = “https://www.videogameschronicle.com/platforms/playstation/ps5/”> PS5 owners for the first three months.
The studio recently said that future GTA Online updates will cater to the single-player game as well as cooperative activities in line with The Cayo Perico Heist.
Earlier on Monday’s earnings conference call, Zelnick revealed that Red Dead Redemption 2 “href =” https://www.videogameschronicle.com/games/red-dead-redemption-2/ “> Red Dead Redemption 2 has already sent 36 million units and NBA 2K21 “href =” https://www.videogameschronicle.com/games/nba-2k21/ “> NBA 2K21 sold eight million copies.
Take-Two also discussed its failed offer by Codemasters and said it would launch The Outer Worlds’ second expansion, Murder on Eridanos, before April 2021.
