Speaking at the Cowen and Company Technology, Media & Telecom Conference, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said GTA Online needs a bit of a break.

“Not only was it not our intention that GTA Online was permanent, but it’s important that it not be permanent,” Zelnick said. “We have to rest the franchise at some point.”

GTA Online’s “Further Adventures in Finance and Felony” will be released on 7 June.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
