US video game giant Electronic Arts has made an unsolicited $1.9 billion offer for the owner of Grand Theft Auto, made by Take-Two Interactive Software.

EA said it had gone public with its all-share offer after having pursued it privately since December. Take-Two immediately rejected the offer, which was 50% higher than its closing price on Friday.

"Electronics Arts' proposal provides insufficient value to our shareholders and comes at absolutely the wrong time," Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick said in a statement.
