A PC release for Grand Theft Auto V has still not been confirmed. Every other GTA game has made its way to PC platform, except a few of the minor ones. But Rockstar has been very adamant that the console is their primary concern. Several rumors have pointed toward GTAV’s eventual release on PC, but none have been confirmed.
Well, here’s piece of firewood to add to the rumor fire:
According to a brand new job posting on Rockstar’s website, the company is looking for a graphics programmer for PC ports. Specifically, the position will involve bringing Rockstar’s “latest titles” to the PC. And what is more recent than GTAV?
Here’s the actual posting:
