PC previews of the upcoming GTA V game have been releasing since Thursday, and so far the consensus has been that Grand Theft Auto V on PC is the definitive version of Rockstar’s epic. PC Gamer raved about how GTA Vlooks and feels at 4K60, with Sam Roberts saying that this is GTA V as he “always wanted to see it.” IGN praises the graphical clarity of GTA V at 4K, marveling at how crisp the images look despite the rendered object being all the way across San Andreas.
Rockstar has always touted GTA V on PC as the definitive version, making sure to point out that it is the only platform where you can enjoy GTA V in 60 frames-per-second, as well as 4K support. In addition, PC Gamer also reported on the full graphical options settings, something PC gamers crave, showing that the most discerning gamer will have 25 different options to tweak and get optimal performance out of GTA V on PC.
For those who can’t wait for the game to launch and want to start playing right when it unlocks, you can pre-load GTA V now on your PC through Steam and other digital distributors. If you’re waiting for reviews before you buy the game, you might be waiting, as it’s been revealed via an IGN editor on Twitter that review copies won’t be available until launch.
Unfortunately we're not getting review access to #GTAVPC until launch. Expect first impressions on Tuesday.
