Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive Software, talked about the latest plans the triple-A game publisher has with its upcoming titles and his view of possible tariffs on game consoles.

I interviewed Zelnick briefly today and asked if Take-Two would support the Nintendo Switch 2 in a big way. He said he could not comment on their plans. And he added, “Historically, we’ve supported all major platforms and we’ve selectively supported Nintendo platforms. For example, Civ 7, which is in early access today, will be available for Switch. So I would have every belief that we’ll be supportive of Switch 2.”
