Our take

Parent company to some of the most successful video game companies and titles is Take-Two Interactive, one of the leading developers, publishers, and marketers of consumer interactive entertainment around the globe.

Developing and publishing principally through Rockstar Games, 2K, Private Division, and Zynga, Take-Two has powered industry-leading titles such as Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption 1&2, the catalog of NBA 2K games, BioShock, and FarmVille.

The company is looking to enter the world of crypto and blockchain, beginning with Zynga's Web3 game Sugartown in 2023. When competitor Ubisoft became the first developer to launch NFTs, the move faced backlash as many users saw it as a cash grab, which has certainly influenced Take-Two’s delay in entering the market. Time will tell how this foray into blockchain pans out for Take-Two.

With its well-established catalog of games (with some highly anticipated title releases) Take-Two Interactive is a titan in the industry and is well set to see continued success, not only as its subsidiaries expand but through the capitalization of future tech opportunities in the highly innovative gaming industry.
