Discs may not always be the best choice for the consumer, especially for larger games, according to Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick. The remarks came in today’s Q1 2027 earnings call, which also showed GTA 6 —whose physical release won’t have a disc—is bound to make boatloads of money.
When asked about Sony’s controversial move to cease disc production in the coming years, the CEO of Rockstar’s parent company defended the benefits of digital releases, as spotted by Kotaku.
“Our business is well over 90 percent digitally distributed as is,” Zelnick said. “It is already a digital business. So in certain instances, especially if it is a big game, discs—and note I said discs—don’t really make sense for the consumer.”
