Grand Theft Auto V Coming To PC This Fall Was Said in Error By NVIDIA

Last week on an earnings call, NVIDIA said that Grand Theft Auto V will be available on PC “this fall” after including it in a list of games coming to the platform later this year. The words were spoken by Chris Evenden and he clearly said that Rockstar’s upcoming title will be headed to PC soon. You can read what exactly he said in this transcript, but we have the paragraph in question below.

The PC market is evolving. As entry level laptops face pressure from tablets. Yet sales of specialty 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 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 V and Assassin’s Creed IV. – Chris Evenden – Senior Director, IR

Don’t get too excited though as NVIDIA has issued a statement regarding what was said about Grand Theft Auto V during their financial call last week.

Please note, during our Thursdays earnings call, our investor relations team provided a list of important games that gamers are looking forward to on PC this fall, and included Grand Theft Auto V on that list.

This statement was made with the intent of expressing enthusiasm for the games industry in general, and was not intended to represent specific knowledge possessed by NVIDIA. NVIDIA does not have information on any possible PC version release of Grand Theft Auto or its availability. We deeply regret the error. – NVIDIA PR

NVIDIA could be appeasing Rockstar by making this statement or they could have made a mistake. We hope that GTA V will be available on PC this holiday and that it really was an NVIDIA slip, but they have issued a retraction!
