Houser talks up Games for Windows

GTA IV benefits from multiplayer standard

With the PC release of Grand Theft Auto IV looming ever nearer, Rockstar big wig Sam Houser has been talking up the Games for Windows standard, which will add much to the multiplayer side of the game we hear.

Houser says Rockstar are "incredibly proud of the deep, customisable multiplayer experience that Grand Theft Auto IV offers players."

The big cheese continues: "As we work toward the release of the PC version, Games for Windows – Live affords us the opportunity to seamlessly translate the multiplayer console experience for PC gamers.

"The service is a natural fit for the platform and we strongly believe it will help in building a strong online community around GTA IV PC."

GTA IV PC is out on the 24th of November.
