After much speculation, Rockstar has finally announced that a PC version of their multimillion-selling software will make its way to North American shores in November.
The story mode appears to be identical to the console versions, which won’t disappoint PC owners, thanks to the critically-acclaimed quality that Rockstar achieved with Grand Theft Auto IV on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The multiplayer portion of he game will be expanded however, although details on this “expansion” are being kept under wraps for now.
There was never any doubt that Grand Theft Auto IV would inevitably come to PC, like all Grand Theft Auto games prior — and the release date of November 18th guarantees this massive game will absolutely consume the winter holidays of PC gamers. Europe will have to wait 3 more days though, getting the game on the 21st.
