Nvidia: Grand Theft Auto 5 Hitting PC ‘This Fall’

Chip-maker Nvidia has said Grand Theft Auto 5 is due to be released on PC "this fall", despite the fact that Rockstar has not yet announced the game for the platform. 

Nvidia commented on the game during their Q2 2014 earnings report last week.

The company's senior director of investor relations Chris Evenden said: "The PC market is evolving as entry level laptops face pressure from tablets. Yet sales of speciality PCs like gaming systems and work stations continue to grow. The disparity reflects how consumers use these different classes of PCs. Many consumers look for PC as a general purpose device they can use for browsing, email, social media and video.

"But much of this can be better served by a tablet. In contrast, gamers are preparing their systems for a strong roster of games coming this fall, including blockbuster franchises, such as Call of Duty: Ghosts, Grand Theft Auto 5 and Assassin's Creed 4."

While a version of the game for PC was always likely Rockstar has refused to confirm the title for the platform. Screenshots and trailer footage released so far have come from the PS3 version of the game. A new trailer, showcasing Grand Theft Auto Online, will be released on Thursday. 

The release of Grand Theft Auto 5 on PC also seems to raise the prospects of a PS4 and Xbox One version. We'll find out this Autumn. 

Grand Theft Auto 5 is set for release on PS3 and Xbox 360 on September 17th.
