Rockstar hiring to bring "latest titles" to PC

Since-removed job posting at Rockstar Leeds suggests company's newest games could come to PC.

786 Comments

Rockstar Leeds recently posted (and has since removed) a job listing for a programmer who would assist in bringing the company's "latest titles" to PC.

No Caption Provided

"Rockstar Leeds are currently looking for a talented graphics programmer to help bring our latest titles to the PC platform," reads a line from the job ad as captured by Rockstar Watch.

"Working together with the other Rockstar studios, you will be responsible for maintaining the studio’s uncompromising quality bar, delivering the highest quality PC experience possible."

The requisition also mentions "working with skilled developers on next generation gamers," suggesting Rockstar will continue to release games on PC in the future.

A Rockstar Games representative was not immediately available to comment.

Some of Rockstar Games' "latest titles" currently unavailable or unannounced for PC include 2010's Red Dead Redemption and this September's Grand Theft Auto V. The company has said a PC version of GTAV is "up for consideration."

Rockstar Games released the first official gameplay trailer for GTAV today. For more, check out GameSpot's editor analysis of the footage.

Rockstar just bring GTA5 to all platforms like Ubisoft does. It's as if you don't want the extra money...

Ubisoft already hinted that The Division might come to a PC.

@Prime_28 With the next gen consoles running on x86 architecture, there's no reason not to port games to PC. It will be huge step forwards for PC. There won't be any reason for games like Red Dead to come to PC, since porting will be very easy.

@realguitarhero5 Did any of the people that like your post, actually read it accurately? "There won't be any reason for games like Red Dead to come to PC, since porting will be very easy."

There is a "not" missing

GTA V is a lock to make it to the PC...as with previous incarnations of the the series PC has come after console versions. RDR coming to the PC is a bit of a stretch, 3 years after release suggests not likely...but stranger things have happened.

@PrplMnkyDshwsr7 I would view the release of RDR on PC in the wake of GTAV as a troll maneuver on rockstars part lol.

Exactly. They are developed on PCs, but they are using console APIs and tools for console architectures.

@pongley @jimbo6923 Right. You are not allowed to resell gog games. That's a common misconception of the whole DRM discussion I fear. There is no classical "ownership" of all-digital games, nowhere, not even on gog.

That's cool... but I won't care until they're on GOG. I refuse to buy PC games with any form of DRM!! (yes, Steam IS a form of DRM... just because it's not as annoying as Origin or Games for Windows Live, it still prevents you from owning your games!)

Stream's "DRM" is unobtrusive. I can play my games online or off and it doesn't get in the way at all. And you own your games just as much as you own your games from GOG.

Don't buy digital at all (and that goes for movies, music and books) if you care about easily selling your stuff.

@kalipekona @jimbo6923 The only difference between Steam and Gog is the one time code activation and that for most games you have to have the steam client installed and running. But it's not THAT obtrusive or annoying, you get used to it quite quickly.... ;)

@Microsteve They are made on PC, but with very specific specs in mind. To program for the PC market they need to make many optimizations to achieve good performance on different scenarios, cause people have many different machines, with many different hardware and sofware.

It's not that easy.

@Phelaidar @Microsteve It's called "effort" which the console market rarely does.

@pongley @telaros @punkdsk8erdude Yeah it is, but what I mean is that there is no overall point to really get excited over Next Gen.

I'm going to continue taking it easy. Let the storm settle. The only ones that are going to adopt it quickly are the more multiplayer centric FPS heavy players anyways.

I've never cared about such things. I have far more games in my library than I have time to play them. Having a game be available a bit later on my preferred platform isn't an issue at all, especially since I know it will be the best version once it does become available.

@d4ny3L16 Who cares? Many games I play weeks or months after release either way, just because I don't have time at release, because I don't want to pay full price for a game or even just because I'm busy playing the games from my huge Steam and Gog backlash.....

And Steam summer sale is coming soon which won't make my games collection any smaller I guess.... :P

Please Red Dead. Obviously I gtaV as well but that's not even released for consoles yet and I don't mind waiting a couple of months extra but red dead has been out for over 2 years now and I wanted to play that game the moment I saw it
