Good news for gamers. Rockstar’s hit game series Grand Theft Auto 5 and the upcoming Red Dead Redemption sequel may finally be getting released on PS4 and Xbox One. A new report suggests that the games will be coming to the next generation very soon. Meanwhile, troubled actress Lindsay Lohan is reportedly suing Rockstar for allegedly using her likeness in GTA 5.
Fans of Rockstar games may have two very good reasons to upgrade to the next generation real soon. Grand Theft Auto 5 and the long awaited Red Dead Redemption 2 are expected to be coming to the PS4 and Xbox One by the end of the year.
Baird Equity Research analyst, Colin Sebastian, predicted the announcement during the 2014 Video Game Industry Predictions and Q4 Results Preview:
“Take Two continues to produce some of the highest-quality console and PC games, which we believe should transition well on next-gen platforms...We expect product announcements over the next year such as extending GTA V to other platforms (e.g. PCs, next-gen consoles), the next Red Dead, etc., to help improve revenue and earnings visibility. In addition, the company has significant potential to grow digital/online revenues, which should help improve gross margins and add visibility to growth...We expect PC version of GTA V in 2014. Recently, Amazon.com posted a product listing for a PC-version of the company’s blockbuster franchise Grand Theft Auto V(GTA).”
Meanwhile, Lindsay Lohan isn’t playing around with Rockstar. The actress is reportedly suing Rockstar because of a character in GTA 5. However, model Shelby Welinder claims to be the actual real life basis for the character’s likeness.
