Announcement:
At E3 2014, Sony announced during their Media Briefing that GTA V is coming to PlayStation 4 this Fall. Along with the announcement they also showed of a trailer which you can see over at the GTA V Game Media section. The trailer doesn’t show off much, but does show some beautiful details and upgrades.
Once the trailer had finished and it showed ‘COMING TO PLAYSTATION 4’, many people started to wonder if it was going to be exclusive to the platform, however with an official announcement later that day from Rockstar Games, they cleared it up that GTAV will also be releasing on PC and Xbox One as well as PS4 in Fall, 2014.
