GTA 5 PC Release Date News: Computer Version Is Lead Platform? XML Data Reveals Extra Features In PC Version Not Available In Next-Generation Console

New dumped data in the form of an XML from the console version of Grand Theft Auto V has revealed that there are some extra features in store for PC gamers, as some of the content left on the cutting room floor for current-gen consoles will be making an appearance in the PC version, CinemaBlend.com writes.

The code was dumped from a program on PC while the game was running on the Xbox 360 - the data present in one image of the weather xml file is most interesting, because it points to something not quite present in the current-gen console version of GTA V... a weather condition that was missing from the listed weather features of the game: a blizzard, CinemaBlend.com also writes.

A petition to release a PC version of Grand Theft Auto 5 has surpassed over 500,000 signatures, the Inquirer reports, leaving many gamers wondering if Rockstar will release a computer version of the game.

The number of fans clamoring for a PC version of GTA V on the petition site stands at nearly 420,000 as of this story's publication but he developer famous for keeping its lips sealed about studio secrets has no reason to change up that formula -- no matter how many signatures the Change.org petition garners, CNET.com also writes.
