The rumour mill has been grinding away on kernels of GTA 5 PC version info since before the game even launched in September 2013. There is no official line from Rockstar on GTA 5 PC.
Recently, Internet sleuths spotted leaked code that references GTA 5 PC, and the current rumour pegs the PC version release for sometime in March 2014.
Just today, the most compelling sign that GTA 5 PC is a reality has come from Amazon France and Amazon Germany who listed the game for pre-order.
The French version has since been pulled, but the German listing remains live.

This will no doubt renew speculation that GTA 5 will also be coming to Xbox One and PS4.
My personal take on all this is that Rockstar will almost inevitably launch the game on more platforms, because this means more money.
However, they have cleverly refrained from announcing any of this because they don’t want people to hold out on purchasing the game for the older consoles.
Of course there are fears that GTA 5 PC could go the way of Red Dead Redemption on PC – i.e. it never happens.
Whatever the truth of Rockstar’s platform release strategy, GTA 5 is immensely popular, so they must be doing something right.

I found GTA4 to be the funniest game I’ve ever played. The weird stuff that happens in a open world like that is just amazing.
And from the few videos I watched about GTA V it’s just as funny.
So personally, I can’t wait for it to be released on PC
