GTA V is not coming to PC, according to Nvidia

Make up your mind people

Just yesterday Nvidia revealed, in their regular earnings call, that GTA V is coming to a PC near you in the not to distant future. The master race celebrated and cheered and made funny faces at the console gamers all day long, but maybe they should have put that champagne on ice.

Either the guys at Nvidia don’t have a clue about which games are coming up, possible since we are talking about the bean counters here, or someone at Rockstar sent over a severed horse head to the Nvidia offices as a warning.

Because early this morning Nvidia decided to clarify their comment from yesterday. First let’s go back and look at their comment again

“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 V and Assassin’s Creed IV.”

Okay that’s not very subtle at all but today Nvidia is saying

“Please note, during our Thursday’s earnings call, our investor relations team provided a list of important games that gamers are looking forward to on PC this fall, and included Grand Theft Auto V on that list. This statement was made with the intent of expressing enthusiasm for the games industry in general, and was not intended to represent specific knowledge possessed by NVIDIA. NVIDIA does not have information on any possible PC version release of Grand Theft Auto or its availability. We deeply regret the error.”

So yeah apparently they were just excited about the specific games that may or may not be arriving on the PC.

Call me cynical but I don’t believe that at all.

What do you think, did Nvidia let the cat out of the bag or did they really just make a wild guess?

    I’m fairly sure it’ll arrive on PC eventually, but then RDR hasn’t, so who knows. I’m not really that phased by it, if it gets announced that it won’t there will be an “awwww :(” moment, but then I’ll get on with my life & play something else & never think about it again.

      RDR at least was, IRRC, pretty clear from the start that it was going to be console only. (Boo! Hiss!)

      I hope GTAV does hit the PC…It’s one of 2 games that I’ve really been looking forward to. (The other being Rome II.)

      I’ll be disappointed if it doesn’t.

      RDR was made by san diego on a diffirent source code. LA noire was made by non rockstar studio, a rockstar studiod ported it and they made max payne 3 on pc as well. Even bully was ported to pc.

      Is this one of the fabled ”GTA critique” comment sections? Finally I’ll be able to let off steam. GTA is overhyped, to the extreme, to the extreme of extreme. It gets quite boring after a while. And I’ll still have a life if I don’t play it contrary to what some GTA fanboys might say.

        Luckily buying, renting or borrowing a console is cheap and easy. But tbh I would rather wait, or not play at all then go back to 30fps 720p.

        Last of us was a great game, but hell the textures bugged me all the way through the game! (‘cut scenes’ was amazing though)

        I am seriously considering waiting for it on PC. Walked in to pre-order from BT the other day and walked again when I realised I had no idea if I want to play it on PS3 or X360. PS3 would be easier coz of my kid always hogging the X360 but I prefer the controller on the X360… decisions decisions

        And you know I’ll prob end up rushing out to buy it next month on release day…

But remember we got 50m for Torres and used 35m on Carrol and 22m on Suarez…So 7m for Suarez came from our own money, not tooo bad even though he is a back stabbing son of a b…… Just like your Rooney, ungrateful brats I tell you!!!

            I watched it on it’s own merit. It never felt like I was watching the original and I was expecting the worst so it wasn’t too bad for me. Completely forgettable 10 mins after viewing though.

            My personal fav of Arnie is Conan the Barbarian. If ever there was a case to be made for perfect casting, that would be a big contender.

            EDIT: Well my folks did. I kept that machine running for 10 years with an open top and pens to keep the tape from getting chewed… good times…hmmm?!?

            August 14, 2013 at 11:54

            Yup, cleaning the heads with spirits so that the tape doesn’t pull. Can’t do that with a DVD player…

    I knew it. GTAV is indeed coming out this fall… on consoles (17 September counts as fall).

    GTAV is a blockbuster title, which is coming out this fall on consoles. This is indeed true.

    It is also true that PC gamers are upgrading their rigs for blockbuster games “in general”. This is also very true.

    However just because they put two true statements together in a single sentence doesnt mean they are connected and that GTAV will be on PC.

      Sureee you been playing on the same garbage graphics for 7-8 years.

      All games now run on consoles on LOW pc settings, pc has been “next gen” for some years now.

      Console=good for 3 years and trash afterwards.

    Too many grammatical mistakes… And they didnt say “its NOT coming to PC” or anything, they just said that they don’t know.

    For all you Huge PC Gamers my Name is Richard Hillerman and i recently have Been Let Go From NVIDIA For What im About to Say Here now. GTA V Is Being Quietly Worked on Thru The Back Channels Of RockStar and NVIDIA As There Are Many Conflicts In The PC Version Being Compatible With Graphics Cards older Than 2012, It Is A registry Error That is Causing the Game to Over Compensate and Stop Working, unfortunately GTA V was Supposed to be Announce September 13 that A PC version Would BE Available Christmas 2013, Now It Could Be More Towards January or Later Never Fear The PC Version Will Be Coming Regardless.

    FK You NVIDIA Fire Me and I Will Still Get The Word Out!!
