tambeshakunt Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hey all, So I just had a question. If I buy the GTA V PC version that has to be activated with rockstar social club, can I play with friends who are using the steam version ? Or can I only play with other players using rockstar social club? Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dx2words Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I think that all of the GTAV PC version must be activated via Social Club, so you can play with everybody....from steam or whatever it is. Im just guessing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerukal Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Steam So only steam players can play with steam players? No. Everyone plays with Social Club players, because the game works through Rockstar's servers. All the Steam version grants you is optional integration with (again, optional) Steam-specific features. Such as achievements.

K.Walters Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 When you look at it every version will be RSC. Steam will only provide the game in your Steam library and the Steam overlay. When you launch GTA5 from Steam it will just launch the RSC version. So yes you will be able to play with RSC and Steam players.

Eurotrash Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 There is no Social Club OR Steam. It's either Social Club, or Social Club AND Steam. Which is just one in a long list of reasons why pre-ordering buying GTA V on Steam on PC is a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandTeaRedemption Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Both version is using Social Club, so if you got Rockstar version, you can just add the game to Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrett_killz Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 You can't invite/join friends from Steam, in fact you can do it only from R* Social Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nostrora Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Steam will just install RGSC. So steam version is EXACTLY the same of any other GTA V version. it is RGSC will update GTA V, is not Steam will update GTAV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is just one in a long list of reasons why pre-ordering buying GTA V on Steam on PC is a bad idea. Please explain why you think Social Club AND Steam is a bad idea compared to Social Club AND PSN or Social Club AND XBox Live. Those peasant box networks go down far more often than Steam OR Social Club, and you have to pay for the privilege. Also, please tell us about this 'long list' you mentioned.

I'll let console owners argue why it's a bad or good idea to buy GTA V on the consoles, I'm a PC gamer. And the last RGSC game Rockstar released on Steam becomes unplayable if you ever re-format your hard-drive.

RedIndianRobin Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 It uses RGSC apart from Steam. Hence everyone will play with everyone on whatever platform they have, be it RGSC or Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tambeshakunt Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Ok thanks everyone for the help. The steam version is only marginally more expensive than RGSC so I think I will go for steam - just personal preference to do with all games being together etc..

Well that's bullsh*t because I've done 3 complete re-installs of Windows and I can still play GTA IV, Max Payne 3 and LA Noire. Do you just go round spouting bullsh*t everywhere?

Steam MP3 only fired up threw Steam and then updated (if required) threw RGSC? Since I preorder the retail version of V, I'm wondering how it's gonna work. And MP3 could be a good indication.

seventhreeo Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 if you need help deciding consider this apparently once you download from R* servers they expect you to back it up and redownload it (I've heard people see this in some T&Cs), as well as download speeds being slow from them with Steam you won't get an extra game of your choice but at least you can redownload it any time you need to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
