Rockstar Offers Free Game for Grand Theft Auto V PC Preorders
Post by Eorl @ 08:40am 17/01/15 | 16 Comments
While the PC version of Rockstar's open-world sandbox Grand Theft Auto V has been delayed back to March 24th, the developer is hoping to entice players into pre-ordering the game ahead of its launch. Those who do will score some in-game cash as well as a bonus free game from Rockstar's vaults.

To obtain your stash of free goodies you'll need to head over to Rockstar's Warehouse store and preorder the game directly through them. It hasn't been made clear yet as to whether users will be able to redeem the preorder on Steam or whether Rockstar will be offering the game directly through their distribution channel. Either way, you'll be charged 15 percent up front (that isn't refundable), and you'll get a download code for one of the following games:
  • Bully: Scholarship Edition
  • Grand Theft Auto III
  • Grand Theft Auto IV
  • Grand Theft Auto San Andreas
  • Grand Theft Auto Vice City
  • Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City
  • L.A. Noire
  • Manhunt
  • Max Payne 2: The Fall of May Payne
  • Max Payne 3
  • Midnight Club II
    • Alongside the free game you'll also receive $1 million in-game cash, split across single-player and multiplayer. Check out the game's first PC screenshots below in glorious 4K resolution to see what we'll be getting.

    Yeh I bought it on GMG. It ended up being about $70 AUD with the discount code.

    I got sent a key and it activated GTA: SA. Dunno what the go is with the GTA V side of things however. I'll wait and see.

    Is that normal? I think that's pretty cool they don't charge the full amount upfront for preorders like every other store does.

    Doesn't appear to be a steam key. Rockstar social installer. Interested to see how it goes.

    I do prefer to keep everything consolidated in steam.

    I'm waiting till after release. I hate what pre-orders have become. You don't even need to pre-order in this day and age with digital releases. Sick of companies f*****g over fans through pre-orders and releasing half arsed bug laden s***heaps.

    if there was confirmation of delivery via steam for this pack, I'd gladly hurl $75 US at this right now.

    As it is, I'm pissed off that we get the game at an inflated price yet again.
