Take-Two has confirmed the shutdown of Intercept Games and Roll7, while also announcing the sale of indie publisher Private Division to a mystery buyer. This closure aligns with prior internal reports of the studios being closed, further underscoring the company's strategic refocusing towards larger AAA games and mobile experiences instead of indie projects.
Zelnick described the decision to sell Private Division as a necessity for resource allocation: "It's a strategic decision that allows us to pour more resources into our core and mobile businesses... We're really best at these big AAA experiences." This statement highlights Take-Two's pivot from smaller indie labels to maximizing profits from established franchises.
While Zelnick acknowledged Private Division's success, he clarified the scale of its projects: "the scale of those projects was, candidly, on the smaller side, and we're in the business of making great big hits." This indicates a clear prioritization for the company towards high-budget, large-scale games, leaving little room for smaller indie efforts.
