Grand Theft Auto 5 PC Coding Leaked on Online Forum
Grand Theft Auto 5 PC rumors have been floating around for several weeks already and now a piece of coding hidden within the game may indicate that indeed the transition is coming.
A user on Guru3d forum found coding for GTA5 on an AMD Catalyst driver reports Gamerant.

Other games were mentioned in that list, such as Assassin's Creed 4 and Call of Duty: Ghosts, which were already known or assumed to be getting a PC release.
A few weeks ago, a user on Reddit claimed they had been BETA testing the game for Rockstar Games on the PC, and posted pictures online.
User DevBuild was playing as the character, Franklin, and screenshot a picture of Taskmanager to show the game is running and not a fake. However, many in the gaming community feel these screencaps were easily doctored.
Gamers want the computer version of the game so much, they created a petition.
The Grand Theft Auto 5 PC petition has surpassed over 600,000 signatures since its creation last month.
The petition had around 40,000 signatures last year but that number exploded since the launch in September.
The petition reads:
"Please release GTA V on PC. GTA games have been a large part of so many people's lives and it's a big shame not seeing the newest iteration of the game being released on the most powerful platform. Things like modifications have always been a HUGE part of PC gaming and modded GTA is some of the most insanely fun times you can have. I hope you consider the release of GTA V on PC as it'll make many people very happy!"
Much like GTA 4, GTA 5 could arrive a few months later than the console release and arrive within the first quarter of 2014, according to EuroGamer.
"I don't think it'll be console-exclusive very long. But that's what happens when you have a brand new launch with two companies that have lots of money trying to make sure they have content," Chris Silva, director of marketing for Intel notebooks, told PC Gamer. "Somebody paid a lot of money to make sure that title was exclusive."
Grand Theft Auto V became the fastest -selling entertainment product ever, making over a billion dollars in just three days.
The video game smashed all sorts of sales records all over the world and was estimated to make $1 billion in its first month. It did that in just three days after making more than $800 million on the launch.
