No PC Version of GTA V At Launch: Rockstar
Our suspicions from a pre-order poster leak earlier this week are confirmed, there won't be a PC version of GTA V any time soon. The Spring 2013 launch date given by Rockstar only includes versions for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 platforms. Pre-orders for the game will begin next week, starting Monday. When Rockstar posted its pre-order announcement, everyone in the comments section had one question on their minds - will there be a PC version? This prompted Rockstar to respond in a comment, and not update the actual news article (adding insult to injury), that there won't be a PC version any time soon.

Hey guys, glad to see so much enthusiasm about the release announcement. For those asking about the PC platform, we're currently focused on the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game and don't have any details to share about a PC version at this time. Anyone that continues to spam the comments section will have their commenting privileges suspended.

Yeah, I'd do that, too.
Got it on the PS3 and Xbox 360, would buy it again for the PC.
I'm not one to talk though, since I have an Xbox and ps3. But I barely touch my Xbox anymore and my ps3 sees occasion use. It's all just a great big "eh!"
On topic, I've never ever played the GTA games! So I'm not that much at a loss here :roll:
Either they're going to introduce some real large changes to gameplay/story, or they're going to get a stale expansion-pack-like release. And of course, there's still a chance it will be stale or bad even if they innovate quite a bit :ohwell:

Plus most likely it won't look polished on PC. Low res console textures and filled with glitches. It takes time for fans to create high res packs to finally bring it up to the polish it should have on PC. Sure it will look better than console but not truly what PC is capable of. I'm at the same point now as well. Not even Halo 4 could entice me to use my 360 for anything more than a video player. Been XBLess for at least 2yrs now and don't miss it. PS3 gets occasional use due to certain PS3 only titles, but even then...I play it, beat it. Never load again, skip all MP content. Back to PC.
but no major worries.. never been a GTA fan
I have more fingers and toe's then there are games on PC that's not on console that makes it worth buying anymore PC hardware...
It's been a long time coming and I see the end of actual PC gaming...it wont be but a year or two before Tablet specs catch up enough for games worth playing...
Being tied to a desk or even a couch for consoles is coming to an end methinks...
Why do not they also count, today laptops are equipped with minimum HD4000, the better ones with 7660G graphics, than anyone could run GTA 5 on their laptops and they could sell bunch of copies.
Although, PS3 and X360 would most likely have a much larger market then PC for this game (like most games).
I hope I don't have to wait for a year like I did with GTAIV before they released a PC version.
Of course, if a game doesn't do so well, they'll sell it on PC as witnessed with LA Noir. No Red Dead Redemption though, the effers.
