I know many AusGamers users have been waiting for this news. Grand Theft Auto 4 has just been announced to be in development for the PC and will be released in North America on November 18 and Europe on November 21. We've contacted Rockstar Australia for our official date and are awaiting their response.

According to reports, the PC version will pack an expanded multiplayer component in what was already Rockstar's best multi offering for the series thus far.

You can check out our massively in-depth review of the game right here, while all our related media can be found on the AusGamers Grand Theft Auto IV game page.

Update: Rockstar Australia have sent through official word on the release, which will mimic Europe, seeing the game on Aussie retail shelves November 21.

"We are very excited to be releasing the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "The whole team is dedicated to bringing an amazing gaming experience to the PC. The game looks and plays beautifully on PC and we can’t wait for people to play it."

No word on whether or not the PC version will also have the episodic downloadable content, which was announced exclusively for the Xbox 360 version, leaving the PS3 version with nothing but what comes in the box.

San Andreas had offline 2 player and both Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories on PSP had wirless multiplayer.

Good, i can't stand trying to play this game with the 360 controller.

About time, not played on my PS3 since the game killed my console (only took 7 weeks for Sony to fix [replace] the console....)

f***ing what


why did i buy an xbox then?





o wait geometry wars LOL

If this comes with some decent multiplayer support I will get it because the console multiplayer sucks.

im changing my birthday to November 21
so someone can buy it for my birthday

Lol....my birthday is on the 18th! Lucky me! Finally something actually happening on my birthday. Will there be a PC collectors Edition?

i'm guessing when they say multiplayer they mean online as apposed to lan play.

Doesn't it pretty much amount to the same thing these days?

Boba and I jumped in the Red Alert 3 beta this morning and found that there wasn't skirmish or local network options only to realise that making our own game and passwording amounted to the same experience anyway.

I guess no LAN option does hamper the on-the-day "sharing" of full version games for multiplayer purposes.

Played for 5 hours, got bored, went back to UnAngband.
Where's the fun ?

I'd only play this for PC. this game is best that way.
glad its coming out.
