Rockstar’s upcoming GTA 5 will be making its way onto consoles like the Sony PlayStation 3 and the Microsoft Xbox 360 later this year, although the fate of the game for the PC remains unknown. Last we heard, Rockstar had nothing to share regarding a PC launch, and gamers have since launched a petition which has passed the 200,000 mark last we checked in July (over 300,000 at this time of posting). So what does this mean? Will GTA 5 ever see a PC release?Well perhaps it might, at least according to a recent NVIDIA investor call where the company’s senior director of investor relations, Chris Evenden, was quoted as saying, “In contrast, gamers are preparing their systems for a strong roster of games coming this fall, including blockbuster franchises, such as Call of Duty: Ghosts, Grand Theft Auto 5 and Assassin’s Creed 4.”
This was picked up by the folks at Videogamer and while Evenden could be speaking in general, given that NVIDIA is related to gaming, we wouldn’t be surprised if they knew something that we didn’t. Of course this doesn’t exactly confirm that GTA 5 will arrive on the PC, but it does give us some hope, along with a recent job listing that has suggested a PC port of GTA 5 as well. In any case don’t get your hopes up just yet, and in the meantime you can always hit up Change.org to sign the petition.
