Grand Theft Auto 5 out on PC early 2014
Rockstar will release a PC version of Grand Theft Auto 5 in 2014, Eurogamer understands. Multiple industry sources have indicated the open world game, currently available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, will come out on PC in the first quarter of 2014.
The release plan mirrors that used for Grand Theft Auto 4, which released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on 29th April 2008 before launching on PC in December 2008, reports Eurogamer.
A PC release should come as no surprise. In August GPU maker Nvidia's senior director of investor relations Chris Evenden mentioned a PC version of GTA5 during a financial call.
"[PC] gamers are preparing their systems for a strong roster of games coming this fall, including blockbuster franchises such as Call of Duty: Ghosts, Grand Theft Auto 5 and Assassin's Creed 4," he said.
After Evenden's quotes were picked up by press, Nvidia issued Eurogamer a statement saying they were made in error. "Nvidia does not have information on any possible PC version release of Grand Theft Auto or its availability," a spokesperson said. "We deeply regret the error."
When approached for comment, Rockstar pointed us to an "Asked & Answered" session published on the company's Newswire website in July.
"The only versions of the game that we have announced are for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 which are set for a September 17th worldwide release," Rockstar said at the time. "We don't have anything to share about the possibility of a next-gen or a PC platform release at this time and we are completely focused on delivering the best possible experience for the consoles people have right now."

As pc gamers we are and pretty much since the days of the psone/N64 have been the minority. The money is in consoles, its called business etc etc and if you choose to back the underdog (the pc, for clarity) then you need to except that good things take time.
Just because you chose to spend more money on gfx card than what console costs, doesnt automatically make you entitled to any special treatment. Grow up and support the devs.
Also, if i remember correctly, the whole point of pc gaming is:
Mods
Higher resolutions
higher framerates
K/b n M (for most games).
cheaper games
If the above is not why you pc game, then your on the wrong platform son.
Look at it this way, if you really feel that a certain game isnt worth your time just because you dont get to play it at launch on your preferred platform, then either the game never really interested you in the first place or its just a crap game altogether.
Also, the only good thing imo about GTA4, is driving around and causing mayhem, the story and characters are utter rubbish.
Am not asking for special treatment.Am asking for equal treatment since the "next gen" consoles are just a disguised PCs. If they are waiting to make the game better, then OK.I might consider changing my mind once it happens.
But adding 4K textures can come later as a voluntary update since I don't see
a point of having 4K textures for everybody since it's gonna take years until people are gonna actually own 4K monitors.And other than that I don't see much of a difference in porting a game from next gen console to PC.
I've been on this platform for 19 years now. Trust me I am on the correct platform.If half of the gamers had a library of original games as I do, there would not be these problems.And am not trying to damage my own platform. I am talking about boycotting a developer that has let me down in recent years.(and am not even thinking about their "customer (don't) care"problems I had with them..)
And I don't have a problem with them not releasing it to PC on the day they released it on old consoles. I understand that. I will have a problem if they don't release it on the day with the next consoles. Please read my comments before you start talking back. As the only reason to be confronting me -a person who plays for the same team as you is, that either you work for Rockstar or MPAA. Why else would you we be having this conversation.
In the mean time I hope Rockstar will come back and surprise me positively and I will happily throw my money on them. Only time will tell

I agree; as such I haven't bothered with any GTA game since Vice City and could care less about this one.

I might get it in a sale at some point, but I've seen nothing that has genuinely impressed me. I'm of a mind that GTA was surpassed some time ago in regards to its genre.
