Rockstar debuts PC game launcher with free San Andreas

Rockstar Games has released a dedicated game launcher for its PC titles including Grand Theft Auto V.

Those who download the Rockstar Games Launcher will received a free copy of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on PC for a limited time, the company said.

Previously players would need to boot up Steam in order to access Rockstar’s library of games.

In June, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick gave the clearest indication yet that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released on PC.

The executive was asked about the prospect of bringing Red Dead Redemption 2’s online multiplayer mode, Red Dead Online, to PC during a Q&A session at Baird’s 2019 Global Consumer, Technology & Services Conference.

“There’s no downside to releasing the game on PC,” he replied.

While Red Dead Redemption 2 remains unannounced for PC, given its success on Xbox One and PS4 – plus Rockstar’s history of launching PC versions of its games after their console release – it would be unsurprising if a PC version is officially confirmed in due course.
