Question: NBA 2K23 was added to PlayStation Plus game of the month, that definitely contributes to strong engagement, but we're curious on whether or not you also see a meaningful uptick in RCS there among those PlayStation Plus players. Here's a transcript of the Q&A that Slatoff responded to: Based on his response, it's evident that there is substantial potential for gains in this approach.

Interestingly, there seems to be a good reason behind this move, as explained by Take-Two's President, Karl Slatoff.Īccording to TweakTown, in the recent Q1 annual earnings call, Slatoff responded to a question concerning the benefits of adding a game to a subscription service. However, this hasn't stopped the American publisher from adding Grand Theft Auto V to Microsoft's subscription service. Just last year, Zelnick made it clear that he wasn't a fan of Xbox's Game Pass Day One strategy. Strauss Zelnick, the CEO of Take-Two Interactive, has always been upfront with his opinions on subscription models. It seems like every other month, there's news of a CEO or president of a video game company offering their two cents on this contentious topic. If there's one thing game publishers will never reach a consensus on, it's the viability of subscription services.
