It looks like GTA 5 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One has a first-person mode

The upcoming re-release of Grand Theft Auto 5 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One might feature a first-person gameplay mode. The information comes from an incomplete and subsequently removed support page on the Rockstar Games website that an enterprising Redditor salvaged via Google Cache.

The feature was listed as part of a larger answer to the question of what new features could be expected in the upcoming versions. The first-person mode would apply both while on foot and in vehicles, showing the car interiors with “working speedometers, tachometers, dash lights, and more,” according to the now-removed page.

In addition, the answer promised the expected graphical overhauls and a wealth of new content like easter eggs, random events, and more animals. Players will be able to transfer characters over from the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 version, and will be rewarded with new weapons and a free garage in GTA Online.

Rockstar has not yet confirmed or denied the leak, and it’s not likely to prior to any more official infodumps on the coming re-release. Grand Theft Auto 5 returns with a new coat of polish on November 18, 2014 for PS4 and Xbox One, and on January 27, 2015 for PC.

One of the most popular games on Steam has hit a snag for Steam Deck players. Grand Theft Auto 5 and Grand Theft Auto Online are no longer supported for Valve's PC handheld.

Rockstar Games explains in a post for Update 1.69 (and spotted by The Verge), that its game won't be supported by Steam Deck due to the integration of BattlEye Anti-Cheat for Grand Theft Auto Online. The goal was to put a limit on cheating in its open-world MMO, but that came at the cost of Steam Deck support.

If you were hoping Grand Theft Auto 6 would launch day one on Xbox Game Pass, you're out of luck. Take-Two Interactive execs have been hesitant to launch the company's games on subscription services on Xbox Game Pass, and that will continue to be the case, according to the CEO's recent comments.

In an interview with Gamesindustry.biz ahead of the company's latest financial report, CEO Strauss Zelnick candidly said that while he believes the addition of the Call of Duty franchise will push players to the service for a bit, it won't affect Take-Two's release strategy.
