GTA 6: Take-Two boosts anti-piracy tech and legal action

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said the publisher is increasing its technical defences and legal activity against piracy as GTA 6 approaches. He made the comments in an interview reported by Rock Paper Shotgun on 10 November 2026.

What did Take-Two say about piracy and GTA 6?

Take-Two is putting more effort into both the technology and the legal side of fighting piracy as GTA 6 gets closer, according to CEO Strauss Zelnick. He told Rock Paper Shotgun that the publisher is stepping up its technical defences and its legal activity around piracy.

The comments were reported on 10 November 2026. Zelnick was speaking about the wider picture around games and AI, and the conversation turned to how a big release like GTA 6 might be targeted.

Why is Take-Two talking about this now?

GTA 6 is due on 19 November 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with no PC version announced. A launch of that size tends to draw attention from people looking to copy or crack the game, which is why the publisher is talking about its defences.

Rock Paper Shotgun's report also touched on concerns about AI being used in PC ports of games. Zelnick's remarks focused on piracy, and he did not give details of specific tools or cases.

What does this mean for players?

For most players, the message is simple: Take-Two says it is taking piracy seriously as the launch nears. The company has not said what the new measures involve or whether they will affect how the game runs or how it is sold.

Rockstar has not shared anything further about anti-piracy plans for GTA 6. Any specifics beyond Zelnick's comments have not been made public.
