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

12 January 2015

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
Retailer PC Price
Kalahari R649
Raru R687
Loot R696
BT Games R699
Takealot R699
AWX R765
Steam N/A
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.
