The PlayStation 4 version of Grand Theft Auto V will contain a special perk, according to PlayStation marketing executive John Koller. Speaking with Kotaku at E3 about whether or not PS4 owners can expect something special from GTA V, Koller said, "I don't think we announced anything publicly on that, but there will be."
Koller went on to say that GTA V, released last year on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, did "extremely well" on PS3. So much so that the index rate for the game--that is the number of people who purchased the game on PS3 relative to Xbox 360 based on install base--"swung well into PlayStation's favor."
The executive added that he expects that trend to continue this year with GTA V for PS4. "GTA is a PlayStation franchise," Koller said. "It started with us. We really feel strongly that it belongs as a key platform driver for us."
Asked again for more details about the special perk PS4 owners can expect for GTA V, Koller said, "GTAV is going to be, I think, a title we'll talk about more in the weeks and months to come, but GTA V and the GTA franchise is something that will be something very special on PlayStation."
GTA V launches for PS4, Xbox One, and PC this fall. The game includes "across-the-board graphical and technical improvements," which aim to deliver a "stunning new level of detail," Rockstar said when the game was originally announced for the new platforms on Monday. Specifically, GTA V for Xbox One, PS4, and PC will offer increased draw distances, finer texture details, denser traffic, and higher resolution.
