Rockstar Games continues to say nothing about the prospects of seeing Grand Theft Auto V surface on more platforms, but newly spotted Amazon listings in Germany and France (now removed) suggest that a PC version may be coming along soon (via DualShockers). There’s no date included in the Amazon listing, though March 2014 represents the six-month mark since GTA V‘s September 2013 release for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

This follows news from earlier in the month that a Rockstar bug log leaked back in September 2013 contains multiple references – more than 170 – to issues with a PC build of GTA V, including references to DirectX 11 support and a “smog” weather effect (via PC Gamer). The bug log covers a stretch of time extending all the way back to April 2009, though the first mentions of a PC build don’t surface until June 2012.

Past experience with GTA releases certainly supports the notion of an eventual PC release. Every “console-exclusive” game in the series since GTA III has made its way to PC at some point. We’ll keep you posted on any other developments, but bear in mind that nothing is official until Rockstar formally announces it.

First Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer takes players back to Vice City

Lucia and her partner rob a store in GTA 6.

Rockstar Games finally dropped the first trailer for the next game in the Grand Theft Auto series, which is officially titled Grand Theft Auto VI. It's set to launch in 2025 and it'll take players back to Vice City.

The trailer, which clocks in at just over 90 seconds, begins with one of the main characters, Lucia, saying she’s in prison because of “bad luck.” We then get a look at Vice City, the surrounding areas players will be able to explore, and the people within it. The trailer clearly establishes that this is a city where people live in excess and like to party -- and clearly, that sometimes teeters over into criminal activity. The trailer gets more intense as it goes on, as we see Lucia and her partner running from the cops and robbing a store.

Netflix and Rockstar Games revealed that Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition will come to the services game catalog in December.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is a package that features remasters of Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It was first released for PC and consoles in late 2021. Although the ports were derided for having a plethora of technical problems at launch, they have improved since then. Now, Netflix is making a major play by bringing these remastered GTA games to the service around the same time a Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer is expected to drop.
