GTA VI will launch in 13 languages with no microtransactions at launch

GTA VI will launch on November 19 localized into 13 languages. Strauss Zelnick confirmed it at Take-Two’s annual shareholder meeting, where he also left the door open to adding more languages after launch. October 7 update: the official store lists all 13 options. The language entry has the list and explains why language support is not a dubbing announcement.

Another standout answer from the meeting: the launch will have no recurrent consumer spending associated with it. In other words, the single-player game ships without microtransactions tied to its purchase, consistent with GTA VI being presented as a single-player experience and with the current GTA Online remaining the group’s online business.

Zelnick noted that GTA V Online “continues to be a robust business” and will keep receiving support, and dropped a new figure: GTA 5 has now sold more than 230 million copies, ten million above the last known number. On marketing, he insisted GTA VI is a global event with campaigns tailored to each region and a “very significant” footprint whose details Rockstar will share.
