Honestly, I don't like to say this because I'm a PC gamer first and foremost, but because of the hell the online cheaters are making of the PC version of GTAV, I'm glad to read this...
It bothers me a lot, but I can't wait to enjoy PS5 online for a while and have some fun before the no brains come and screw it all up with their bogus cheats...

2027?? Sounds like they release it arround the same time as the PS6 version.

 

[yogaflame]

Which means Ps5 version is on 2026

 

[chokotoureiki]

WAITING FOR PC RELEASE IS BETTER THAN TO PLAY IT AT 30 FPS ON CONSOLE .

At least PS5 is getting a version. Switch....lol

As expected, RS want that double dip cash!

Yeah. It’s fucking ridiculous. What’s worse is that no one in media dares to call them out on it.

 

[rm082e]

Yeah. It’s fucking ridiculous. What’s worse is that no one in media dares to call them out on it.

What if they did? RS would not say anything in response, and people would still double-dip. When games are super popular, more people double-dip. Given GTA is one of the most popular games, it's not surprising they're building it into their business model.

If enough squawked about it, and media started covering it with headlines like “Greedy” or “Anti-Consumer”, maybe Rockstar would have to address it.

Why don't you call out the stupid gamers who are double or triple dipping their games???

R* always in for that sweet double dippin'

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Yes, Rockstar, I will play both the PS5 version Day One, and the PC remaster the next year. Thank you.

Seriously, though, if the option is to have to double dip and play one version in 2025 versus waiting until 2026/2027 for all platforms to release at once, I prefer to double-dip.

It was always going to be this way. Anybody that thought they would have a simultaneous release was dreaming.
People will buy it on PS5/XSX if they own one, people will buy consoles to play it if they don't have one, and people will also buy the game again as soon as it comes out on PC.

PS5 exclusivity deal and Rockstar's only got to worry about making one perfect PS game as opposed to 3 slightly different versions of the same game.
One of the Housers has been talking about making GTA a PS exclusive for years and doing it now would put PS5 sales through the roof.
Most of us have gaming PCs - Exclusives and proprietary controllers like DualSense are what make people buy consoles.

I’m the same.

If I loved a game that much that even years later I want to play it again in a different manner, I have no ragrets and am happy to fund the filthy practice. I’m not reluctantly handing over cash and whimpering while spreading cheeks. I like it. I want it. I want studios making things I like getting filthy rich.

I also buy remasters and remakes of the games I love. In fact I preorder them… before waiting for reviews.

And I bought the PS5 Pro and have exclusively digital libraries across Steam, PlayStation and Nintendo because I can’t be arsed moving licences in and out of cases, or dealing with selling things.

Terminally online gamers hate me.

If it's a solid 60fps and not a blurry mess on ps5 pro, I'll pick up a pro for it.

If it's not 60fps or if a blurry mess etc. Basically monster hunter wilds on series x...I'll happily wait.
