GTA 5 PC pricing – you may as well buy it for PS4

GTA 5 finally releases for PC on 27 January 2015.

The new and improved PC version includes the game’s first person mode, upgraded visuals, smoother gameplay, more detail in the world of Los Santos, and more radio stations. The Master Race will also get 4K support – if your PC is powerful enough.

Speaking of powerful PCs, the system requirements for the game have not been released as yet, but we don’t expect a Celeron and on-board graphics chip to cope with the load.

The PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game have scored well on Metacritic – sitting at 97 for both – which is promising for PC gamers.

For those of you who are interested in buying the game, here’s the price list. Warning – it is not cheap.

GTA 5 PC

Raru	R687
Loot	R696

Takealot	R699

Greenman Gaming	N/A

Pricing was not available from CNA Online, Dion Wired, Makro, Toys R Us, and Incredible Connection at the time of writing.

What is of concern, according to PC gamers sharing their views on the interwebs, is that the game’s requirements have not been listed and that the game is still not available through Steam.
