Earlier in the week, Rockstar Games launched a new section on its GTA IV website dedicated to the upcoming PC version, and on this page some new details have been announced that should have PC gamers pretty excited.
Originally scheduled to ship November 18th (which obviously didn’t happen), GTA IV PC is now slated for a December 2nd launch (the 3rd in Europe). That’s actually good news because there had been some recent reports that it may slip into next year. When it ships, the PC version will also contain expanded features that’ll probably make console gamers pretty jealous, including 32-player multiplayer with Custom Matchmaking, higher-resolution graphics capabilities, a brand new Video Editor for making movies out of in-game footage, and the ability to customize a radio station with MP3s from your own personal music collection. Rockstar clearly isn’t skimping out on this port!
The new GTA IV PC page also comes with a listing of the game’s official minimum and recommended system requirements. I’ve posted those details for your perusal on the jump.
