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.

Yes, like they're not going to release it for PC and next gen consoles.

They're just not anouncing it, because it would seriously hurt the launch sales.

@raiden3788 I remember reading about someone slipping up and admitting this but, they made it seem like he made a mistake.

I think people are overreacting, because historically GTAs are always announced and then released on PC some months after the console releases. Maybe the fears come from the fact that Red Dead Redemption has not come to PC?

@pdevil21 They already made some comment about it saying something like 'You PC gamers will get all the fun from R*, except the western fun, which is the best fun'. I'm sure you could find the article if you google it.

@pdevil21 @LADIES_MAN_2013 Oh well, i didn't notice. That's a good thing though, it means RDR could also come out for the PC at some point.

@LADIES_MAN_2013 No. The quote is "To PC gamers, we hope that between the Grand Theft Auto titles, and the forthcoming L.A. Noire and Max Payne 3, you'll have plenty of great Rockstar action to enjoy." This other part, "Just, you know, no cowboy action. Which is like, the best kind of action", was just commentary by joystiq.

And 100 000 of those people will actually pay for it TROLOLOLOLOLO

joking :P

It will come for PC for sure. I guess they wanted to focus on consoles because PC version will be quite different and they will work more for it (As I think they wont do the same mistake as with GTA IV which was a bad port)

Don't know why they didn't do this already. Piracy fears?
