GTA 5 release date may arrive on PS4 and Xbox One before March 2015, according to Rockstar's tip that the company is working on an unnamed game for the new generation consoles.
The PC version of the 2013 title, on the other hand, has been rumored for a March 15, 2015 release date by an online retailer.
"Rockstar Games is hard at work on their upcoming lineup, and we’re excited about what they have in store for the new generation of systems this fiscal year,” Strauss Zelnick, Take Two Interactive CEO, said in an earnings call with investors and analysts.
Grand Theft Auto 5 made a successful debut on PS3 and Xbox 360 in fall 2013, making a record revenue of $2.35 billion for Rockstar's 2014 fiscal year.
Just last month, Romanian retailer Altex listed the GTA PC version with a release date of March 15, 2015, and PS4 and Xbox One versions as June 15, 2015.
However, gaming analyst Michael Pachter is rather optimistic that GTA 5 PC version is expected to roll out within 2014.
"Well, the PC version, you know, I think is a very easy port. So I am certain that's coming out, and I would bet anything that it comes out this year. Xbox One and PS4 versions, not so fast, because to port from 360 to One is probably very hard. If you look at Titanfall, for example, it went the other way," the managing director of Equity Research at Wedbush Securities told Gaming Bolt in an interview.
"So, I don't even know if it's possible, or feasible. I think they might need to redo the code, which might take them a long time, a year or more, and that's if they spend their time and attention on that, and from everything I can tell, Rockstar's busy working on GTA Online. So I would say PC version this year, most likely. Xbox One and PS4, this year? Probably not."
As for the much-anticipated GTA 5 Online heists update, Rockstar reportedly pointed to a spring release date, according to the Epoch Times.
While the report is yet to be proven, the company did unleash another GTA Online update in the form of the High Life pack this weekend to occupy gamers for the time being.
"Coming next week on Tuesday May 13th, it's time to expand your foothold in Los Santos with The High Life Update for Grand Theft Auto Online, which features new high-end apartments, multi-property ownership, four new vehicles, the powerful Bullpup Rifle and more," Rockstar states.
"This automatic update to GTA Online adds five new options to the Los Santos real estate market at prime locations like Eclipse Towers, Richards Majestic and others, all featuring the latest new interior design. With multi-property ownership, you'll also now be able to own two distinct properties simultaneously."
E3 2014 in June is a possible platform for Rockstar to spill more juicy updates and release news on the multiplayer game.
While Rockstar generally does not attend this event, Sony is rumored to be announcing the GTA 5 release on PS4, according to Gotta Be Mobile.
