Zelnick Just Confirmed It: GTA Online Isn't Going Anywhere (A Dev's Honest Answer)

Last video I told you I'd be watching Take-Two's earnings calls for the real answer on GTA Online's future. And Strauss Zelnick answered the exact question directly. In this video: what Zelnick actually confirmed on the Q1 FY2027 earnings call, how that lines up with Jason Schreier's separate observation about Take-Two's silence on a new GTA Online, and a prediction about what the August 27th Extended Look will and won't show on GTA Online. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - The promise from last video, and what Zelnick said 00:25 - What's actually confirmed (Zelnick's quote + Schreier's observation) 02:06 - What this means for GTA Online going forward 05:20 - Rumor! Project ROME, the Cfx/FiveM acquisition, and the Cayo Perico theory 09:01 - My prediction for a mention of GTA Online in the August 27th Extended Look I spent 14 years on the production side of the games industry — Epic Games, Day 1 Studios, Boss Key Productions.
