In an interview with IGN around Take-Two's latest earnings, CEO Strauss Zelnick addressed concerns that AI tools and PS5 jailbreaks could let GTA 6 show up on PC in unofficial form before Rockstar releases a PC version. According to IGN, Take-Two is enhancing both its technical defenses and its legal activity in response.

Zelnick said he does not see the issue as a financial threat but as a creative one, adding that the company is "not in the least cavalier" about it. He argued that nearly everyone wants "the Rockstar experience as Rockstar intended," and said AI companies should protect others' intellectual property as they would their own.

Take-Two did not detail what specific measures it is taking. GTA 6 launches on November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and no PC release date has been announced.
