Take-Two, the parent of Rockstar Games, says it is stepping up efforts to address piracy concerns linked to AI-assisted reverse engineering and decompilation as GTA 6 approaches. Rock Paper Shotgun reports that Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick frames the move as preparation on both technical and legal fronts, describing a need to “rev up” defences and related legal activity.
Both outlets connect the messaging to the risk that AI tools could be used to analyze games more easily, including for unauthorized ports or other copying. Rock Paper Shotgun also places the concerns in the broader context of current tensions around AI in game development and modding, while IGN focuses more narrowly on the threat model of AI reverse engineering ahead of the GTA 6 launch. Despite different emphasis and broader context, both describe the same core claim: Take-Two is preparing technical and legal responses to protect upcoming Rockstar releases.
