Chirpy cockney urchin Strauss Zelnick recently hailed the "increasing" importance of the PC market in the lead up to Grand Theft Auto 6's release this autumn. Could it mean we're getting the open world crimeathon the same time as consoles? Buddy, we don't even get updates the same time as consoles. Things might be speeding up on that front at least, based on an email Colin Rockstar sent us earlier. On March 4th, they're giving us some nice gubbins for GTA 5 that they previously saw fit to exclusively roll out on machines that don't even have the original Minesweeper.
The upgrade is free "with a one-time Character Migration flow to bring over your Story Mode and Online progress", and offers new vehicles and vehicle performance upgrades, animal encounters, new graphics options, and faster loading time. There's also a "and much more" in there but Colin loves saying that. You can find the full details on Rockstar's website here.
