GTA 5 PC Release Date News: Available Later This Year? Intel Representative Reveals That He Doesn’t Expect Game To Be Console-Only For Too Long
Intel marketing director Chris Silva revealed that it shouldn't be too long before Rockstar Games produced a computer version for Grand Theft Auto 5, leaving many gamers wondering if the PC version could be released later this year.
"At least with Grand Theft Auto I don't think it'll be console exclusive very long. But that's what happens when you have a brand new launch with two companies that have lots of money trying to make sure they have content," Silva told PC Gamer during an interview.
CinemaBlend.com released a poll that asked gamers which console they would want to see Grand Theft Auto 5 made for and PS4 won with 491 votes while the Xbox One lost with 199 votes.
While a possible PC version of the game was not included in the poll, the website mentioned the growing attention computer gaming activists are getting for wanting Rockstar Games to make a version just for them.
An online petition that advocates for the release of a computer version of Grand Theft Auto 5 has surpassed the 600,000 signature mark, leaving many gamers around the world wondering if Rockstar Games will release it.
Michael Julliard of Toronto, Canada began the petition 11 months ago.
Pirates released a fake online version of Grand Theft Auto 5 stuffed with a Trojan virus that stole data and hacked the computers of thousands of gamers around the world last month.
If the user who downloaded the torrent attempts to install the game, they'll be presented with a survey and asked to send a text message to get a working serial key, which never comes - after the text message is sent, the owner of the infected device is then charged one euro per day, International Business Times reports.
Rockstar has released a trailer online, showing off a range of activities, from team skydiving to shootouts, but Grand Theft Auto 5 will also allow users to build Minecraft-like racetracks around the city.
The game's racetrack-building feature is rumored to draw in millions of fans of the block placing game.
No word yet on an official release date for Grand Theft Auto 5 PC Version.
