GTA 5 PC Release Date Rumors Update: Conflicting Reports Indicate Possible June 2014 Launch; Pre-Orders Suggest September 2014 Debut

GTA 5 PC's potential release date has been rumored for two possible launches with some sources suggesting a summer debut, and others hinting at a September drop.

Numerous European publications have began listing the game on their sites, with some going as far as taking pre-orders. Some of these sites are even suggesting a release to the Xbox One and PS4 as well, according to IBTimes .

Czech retailer SuperGamer.cz, claim the game is coming on June 13. However, according to some sources the information is a bit suspicious because the platform listed for the game is for "Windows Live," which is not a system currently available.

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick also responded to talk on whether the game will head to other gaming platforms, most notably the PC, where rumors have been floating everywhere.

"If that is where consumers are, absolutely [we'll release our game on that]. But we wouldn't drive them there, we would just be there if they are there. That is why we have a companion app for our basketball title, NBA 2K Everywhere. It is wherever consumers want to be," he told MCV.

So as gamers have been accustomed to, the developers behind the wildly successful game have remained silent on the PC front.

"It is great that consumers anticipate our titles, like they anticipate the next James Bond film. Our goal is to create permanent franchises," Zelnick said to MCV UK.. "A few years ago, we'd launch a title, it would be sold physically, then we would sell catalogue versions of it. Today we launch a title, and often - if not always - put out DLC. We've talked about recurrent consumer spending, where we have offerings where fans can engage and spend money on an on-going basis."

Zelnick also said by having GTA Online, the game can carry on a new life of its own.

"With GTA V, we have sold 32.5m units in to date, which is extraordinary. 70 per cent of people that have played GTA V while online have played GTA Online, which is a free-to-play experience. And recurrent consumer spending, which includes GTA Online revenue, represented nearly half of our digitally delivered revenue in the quarter. So people are voting that they want to stay engaged and they are voting with their wallets."
GTA 5 was released for the PS3 and Xbox 360 on September 17 2013, and sold over a million copies in two days.
