TL;DR

Take-Two leader Strauss Zelnick notes the firm will apply legal and technical measures against piracy prior to the November 19 release of GTA 6.

Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick views unauthorized copying as a normal part of the media industry. Discussing the upcoming GTA 6, Zelnick remarked that video games generally encounter fewer bootlegging problems due to complex programming and large file sizes. However, he warned that the firm is prepared to deploy legal and technical solutions if needed. He recalled that film sectors historically lost ten to twenty percent of their revenue to illegal copies, while the music industry suffered even higher rates around 2005.

The title debuts exclusively on consoles. Security updates on hardware might block modified systems from playing it, although official sources have not verified these details.
