In a recent earnings call, the CEO of Take-Two Interactive, publisher of the Grand Theft Auto series, assured investors that a potential strike by video game voice actors would not delay the release of GTA 6. With ongoing labor negotiations between SAG-AFTRA, which represents the actors, and major video game companies, concerns of a strike akin to the current one by TV and film actors have emerged. Strauss Zelnick, Take-Two's CEO, expressed confidence in reaching a favorable outcome and mentioned that the company is well-protected against any negative effects of such a strike.

While a strike is not in effect for video game actors at this moment, the possibility remains if current contract negotiations break down. These negotiations touch on issues like AI replacement, inflation-adjusted pay increases, and set safety measures for performers. The impact of a strike could potentially be felt across the industry, with major companies like Activision, EA, and others involved. Zelnick's comments could suggest that voice recordings for GTA 6 might be complete, hinting the game is nearing completion. Additionally, there's a teaser of an upcoming trailer for the long-awaited title, with a potential release projected for the next fiscal year.
