In light of the inquiry about the challenges presented by the lower specifications of the Xbox Series S, Zelnick addressed these concerns directly.

Zelnick reassured fans, emphasizing his confidence in Rockstar’s development team. “We adapt to the platforms our consumers use, regardless of their technical capabilities. Our teams excel at making the technology work effectively. I’ve never been particularly concerned about hardware limitations,”stated Zelnick.
