Well Nvidia confirmed that GTA5 will indeed be coming out for the PC. They mentioned something also about I think Rockstar hiring people to do porting. They mentioned that PC gaming brings in 2x the revenue of Xbox and Play Station consoles combined.

I suspect with PC components continuing to get cheaper and cheaper in terms of building something that can run the majority of newer games, the number of PC gamers will only increase. Not that Console gaming will decrease at all.

Well I'm sure less or no royalties help the profits of the PC games. That doesn't mean there are tons more sales. I think the best games should be on all platforms that can handle that game. What they need to do is make it so PC , xbox one and PS4 can all multiplay together. Now that would be something!

sweet, now announced Xbox One.. lol

Ya, I think it is time that PC and consoles can all connect together in online games. It has already been proven it can be done years ago with Shadow run.

Hey gamexxover,

When you say confirmed, yeh i heard all the news about them looking to hire for PC.. But that ad was pulled, maybe they found someone quick. I'm still waiting on official confirmation from Rockstar.

I read it from Forbs.com Nvidia has stated they are working with the developers and that the game will indeed be released on PC "This Fall" so much sooner than I thought. That may be a near simultaneous release with console.
I have read also that many stores in the UK are already advertising it for PC as well, though I have not seen or looked for them.
Forbs has a very good reputation and has their ear to the rail when it comes to anything business.

Awesome! Great news to hear! I was worried that we wouldn't have got GTA5 until 2015, hopefully it's a better port than GTA4 (aka horrible).

Not true, there are more games for pc but a game sells much but much on consoles than on pc. That's why EA no longer makes Madden for PC.

As for cross playing, I remember doing that on Dreamcast with Unreal Tournament
