Rockstar job listing tips GTA 5 PC port

4.5
Rockstar is unwilling to discuss the prospect of bringing Grand Theft Auto 5 to PC, but a recent job listing hints at the firm working on a port.


A recently-posted job listing for Rockstar Leeds called for a 'graphic programmer' that would work to "help bring our latest titles to the PC platform".

Perhaps even more interestingly, the vacancy post has been swiftly removed by Rockstar, but not before PC Gamer grabbed the full description, which read:

"Rockstar Leeds are currently looking for a talented graphics programmer to help bring our latest titles to the PC platform. Working together with the other Rockstar studios, you will be responsible for maintaining the studio's uncompromising quality bar, delivering the highest quality PC experience possible."

The firm's "latest titles" that are yet to appear on PC include GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption - the latter of which is now over three years old, and would seem the less likely candidate for a PC port in 2013.

According to the post, the position would also require "working with skilled developers on Next Generation games", which is another area the firm has avoided discussing with regards to GTA 5.

In a recent Q&A, Rockstar said, "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."

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

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

Rockstar released the first GTA 5 gameplay video earlier today, offering he first glimpse of both single and multiplayer gameplay.

True. But some cheat codes would do alight ;) haha nah just kidding


I wouldn't mind some player created mods for the PC. It could expand the game a fair bit

They will likely port it to the PC. I don't really see a reason on why they wouldn't..

RaheemSterling_31 They would get a lot more moneys if they released this for the PC.


Nope. People would be pirating. No profit.


Of course, cause 100% of the people are gonna pirate it.


There are a lot of people who are going to pirate the game but there are a surprising amount of people on the PC who are against pirating. If they port it to the PC they will turn a profit.


I will sometimes pirate, but if the developers deserve the money, I give it to them


I will buy the game if i genuinely like it. If not then i will just keep the torrented version

I'm not sure why people think they aren't gonna turn a profit.
By their logic, they won't make a profit on the PS3 or Xbox because they can just simply pirate it.

doubt it, they're not focusing it on PC because of all the pirating. The profits at the Consoles.


So there isn't pirating on the 360 and PS3? Well then.


How can you pirate a game on the 360/PS3?


Apparently you've never heard of a **** JTAG/RGH Xbox or a Jailbroken PS3.

VisionaryMGMT Good news for the people who play PC. Instead of next gen, I want to get a Gaming PC so I guess if this is released in a few years I might be able to play it :D


It will be great to see a PC port of gran theft auto 5. Hopefully they go through and make it
