GTAV PC petition passes 350,000 signatures

Change.org petition calling on Rockstar Games to release open-world game on PC hits new signature milestone.

1065 Comments

The Change.org petition calling on Rockstar Games to release Grand Theft Auto V on PC has surpassed 350,000 signatures. This is up from 200,000 signatures in July.

No Caption Provided

GTAV launches exclusively for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 tomorrow. GameSpot's review hits at 10 a.m. EDT today.

According to Rockstar Games cofounder Dan Houser, a PC version of the open-world game is "up for consideration," though that's all the company has said on the matter.

The petition says it is a "big shame" that GTAV is not announced for the PC, specifically calling out the modding community being a "huge part" of PC gaming. "Modded GTA is some of the most insanely fun times you can have," a line from the petition reads.

A since-removed Rockstar Leeds job advertisement sought a programmer to help bring the company's "latest titles" to PC. This would potentially include GTAV.

The PC iteration of Grand Theft Auto IV launched about eight months after the console versions shipped in April 2008.

Hey pal are you trolling or just being a bafoon? You can use a game pad more specifically a xbox controller which works as it would on xbox. And since 2008 pc games have been ported much better than ever before. Comments like this just suck and do nothing for the topic at hand pal.

@MICHAELKNIGHT2K @gamefreak215jd Keyboard and mouse doesn't quite feel the same as a controller.There are plenty of similar open world games that do perform well without the need of game pad.

@gamefreak215jd Max Payne 3 was a bloody awesome port. So i think they'll do better this time with GTA V as well.

@LADIES_MAN_2013 @gamefreak215jd most ports are amazing on PC. Theres only a few that you need a controller to have a better experience. But my belief is, it doesn't matter if you are playing it on a PC or Console, if it requires a controller , it requires a controller, doesn't matter what platform you play it on. But if I can play it with Keyboard and Mouse I will, I just prefer 3rd person games and 1st person games with K and M.

@ThePlantain Because there is more to a game than graphics, something that console gamers always fall back to.

considering pc version would play smoother at high res, you gotta be stupid to deny wanting to play a better and prettier game.... Unless you too poor to buy parts to make a gaming pc.

I see so many arrogant posts daily on Gamespot from pc gamers thinking they are superior that I hope they never get this game on general principal.

Assholes.

@MrMojoRisin70 I think I'm superior to you, as I don't dismiss an entire fanbase over a vocal minority. I think I'm superior because I don't wall myself off to an entire platform of gaming, one that has vastly different exclusives.

@MrMojoRisin70 @LADIES_MAN_2013 lmao. GTAIV sold more on pc than in the 2 consoles together. GTA was born on pc, why would they release only on consoles, thats the thing. There are many good exclusives on consoles that I want to play and I dont want on pc. But a game that I've been following and they make us buy a console if we want to continue doing it its just wrong.

@Gle4se @RiKanKiDD Playing on better resolution and higher textures and effects are indeed good. but its not the shit if the games are crap. and of course emulation is lovely. yet you can't play Last of Us or Halo 4.

I think we will see both an updated RDR and GTA V for PC, judging by the description in the advertisement.

@valium88 GTA V, definitely. But RDR is very unlikely at this point. Maybe it's sequel though.

Why is that unlikely the description talks about bringing the latest titles to PC, which can be about only RDR and GTAV, both games that will bring in tons of cash, I will buy RDR again if it's optimized for PC.

The only time a PC-porting petition actually worked out was bringing Dark Souls to PC. I don't recall any other PC port petition that worked.

@LADIES_MAN_2013 Alan Wake, theres been a few of them. I reckon all game developers would release a PC version if they weren't under some weird Console contract. Even if the game only sells 100'000 more, that's still 100'000 more than they didn't have before releasing it on PC.

@nyran125tk Alan Wake is great example, because it sold much much more than developers expected and they earned 10 more than they spent porting it to PC

@Tremblay343 @Saidrex You can easily do so. I'm pretty sure you play max with a single GTX 660 on a single monitor..not sure how the frame rate will be. I can play these games on max settings across 3 monitors with my 680 at ~ 30-40 fps.

We all know It's coming to PC but a few month wait is still too damn long. Console users will be played the hell out of it when the PC version arrives.
