Gamers have been awaiting GTA 5's PC release date, and now it is becoming a little clearer as a new AMD Catalyst driver is on its way.
The AMD Catalyst driver has a support of GTA5.exe, and this would suggest that a PC version is in the works as the .exe is coding for a computer coding extension. AMD drivers are for graphics cards on computers among other things.
Other rumors have listed a GTA 5 steam key to be preordered online, citing a summer 2014 release date, according to SidTech.
"The pre-orders tell us that those who pre-order will have to wait for summer next year for the release. We take the summer to mean somewhere between July and September 2014," the website describes. "You do have to take this with a pinch of salt as at the moment Rockstar have not spoken up about a released date. Personally we thought that that Rockstar would launch GTA 5 for the PC before we got to see it on the PS4 and Xbox One."
