This spring Rockstar will release Grand Theft Auto V on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Â Rockstar has yet to reveal any GTA V plans for other platforms, saying that all efforts were focused on these two. Â As expected, the company is also looking at the PC and Wii U for a possible release.
Dan Houser recently told IGN that “Everything else is up for consideration,” when asked about the potential for other platforms. Â Houser attributes the announcement for only the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as a “business opportunity”.
“We are not a third-party publisher,” said Houser. Â “We’re not Nintendo, we’re not Sony, we’re not Microsoft. Â We love all of them in different ways. Â But we can do what we want wherever there’s the appropriate business opportunity and chance to find a market.”
If GTA V didn’t land on the Wii U it wouldn’t be surprising, but the PC is a different animal. Â Grand Theft Auto IV was, and is wildly popular on the platform, given its huge modding potential. Comparable to a game like Skyrim, GTA V on PC could benefit from a partnership with Valve in bringing official tools to Steam users with the new workshop functionality.
