Nordic retailer Elgiganten, which has stores in Sweden, Norway, and other countries in northern European, will open up pre-orders for the game beginning tomorrow, according to Gamereactor . A manager at one of Elgiganten's retail locations reportedly confirmed this to be the case.Whether or not pre-orders are being taken, that doesn't guarantee a PC version exists. There have, however, been a number of indications suggesting such a release is in the works. Anonymous sources have said a PC version would be out this spring , while Intel publicly said in October it expects a PC version before long . More recently, a leaked bug log for the game showed numerous references to PC development , and last week two of Amazon's European sites briefly listed it as coming to PC Most games in the Grand Theft Auto series have been released on PC, with the exception of games like Chinatown Wars and Liberty City/Vice City Stories, which were originally developed for handheld platforms.In the case of Grand Theft Auto IV, there was a wait of about seven months before it was released on PC following its launch on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. That version wasn't announced until several months after the console release, so Rockstar isn't deviating far from that plan if it's waiting to reveal a PC version until enough time has passed since the September 2013 release of GTA V.IGN has reached out to Rockstar regarding the upcoming PC pre-orders and will report back with any information we receive.
