Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive Software, is overseeing the highly anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto VI, a game estimated to have cost between $1 billion and $1.5 billion to develop. Despite not playing video games himself, Zelnick has led the company to significant financial growth since 2011, with its stock price increasing over 1,600% and net revenue quintupling. The upcoming release faces a competitive market and economic uncertainty, but expectations are high given the success of its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto V, which achieved $1 billion in sales within three days of its 2013 launch.
