Rockstar 'completely focused on current-gen versions of GTA V'

4.7
Rockstar Games has addressed questions about whether Grand Theft Auto 5 will be released on next-generation consoles and PC.

Speaking in a Q&A post found on the official Rockstar Games website, the developer states it is focusing its attention on the current-gen versions.

"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," it says.

"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."

Although speculation that GTA 5 will also be released on Xbox One and PS4 has been rampant, Rockstar hasn't officially commented on next-gen versions. Similarly, it has not discussed the status of a PC version.

However, a PC version of Grand Theft Auto 5 was listed by the German arm of Amazon, as well as a second European retailer.

CVG sources have indicated that GTA 5 is set to break UK sales records. Take-Two will reportedly allocate three million copies for the UK alone, giving it scope to outstrip the fastest selling UK game ever, Call of Duty: Black Ops.

The GTA 5 release date has been confirmed as September 17 worldwide.

Which they should because of the time of release of the game compared to the next gen consoles.

Sorcery I don't think that they'll have to do TOO much work to make it compatible with next generation systems, they simply need to use the textures and settings of around medium for PC and make it work with the console, it's better than nothing.


This sounded like I was saying that it would be really easy, I understand that porting can be a huge pain, but most of the work SHOULD already be done.

I think I'll just wait for it to come to next-gen. I don't see why they wouldn't do it. More money for them.
