Publisher Rockstar Games in an abrupt announcement shared this Monday the debut of the company’s own first-party launcher for PC. To reel in downloads for the self-titled Rockstar Games Launcher, the publisher made it publicly clear that every user who downloads the client will be gifted Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for absolutely free.
And while this is Rockstar’s own side of the PC market now, some of the publisher’s titles already on PC are not supported through the launcher. Here is the current list of games compatible with Rockstar Games new storefront:
- Bully: Scholarship Edition
- Grand Theft Auto III
- Grand Theft Auto V
- Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
- L.A. Noire
- L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files (supported, but not available for purchase via the Rockstar Games Launcher
- Max Payne 3
For the time being, fans anticipating to pick up games like Grand Theft Auto IV or even Manhunt will have to be patient until Rockstar adds more to the launcher’s current library. However, the debut of this new platform left fans with eager speculation just in the midst of the launcher’s first day.
Users online sharing for hopes of a potential PC port for Red Dead Redemption 2 seeing this would be a perfect segue for the publisher to dish the game to keyboard & mouse. Now seeing not one, but two different traces of a PC version hidden within the snippets of code on Rockstar-owned domains: one being the game’s companion app and the other through the website’s Social Club.
