PC version of Grand Theft Auto V due in Q1 2014 – report

Grand Theft Auto V will be released on PC next year, according to a new report.

Eurogamer claims to have word from multiple sources” that the game will be released some time in Q1 2014 – meaning between January and March.

There’s certainly a hunger for a PC version, with a Change.org petition demanding its release now just a few thousand signatures shy of 600,000.

The closest Rockstar has come to acknowledging any release beyond PS3 and Xbox 360 so far is a statement from Rockstar North president Leslie Benzie in August in which the developer stated that the studio would get the current-gen version out first and see what happens in the future”.

In the same month Nvidia’s senior director of investor relations Chris Evenden seemed to name-drop the game, although the PC specialist was quick to dismiss the statement.

Intel’s notebook marketing boss Chris Silva earlier this week claimed that somebody paid a lot of money to make sure that title was exclusive” to consoles.
