Rockstar_ Sony's PS4 GTA V Tweet Was Just A Typo [UPDATE]

Today, Sony stirred up some speculation by tweeting about GTA V coming to PlayStation 4. But Rockstar Games tells us that was just a typo. Anyone who’s seen the impressive videos and screenshots of September’s Grand Theft Auto V has probably wondered if the game will come to next-gen consoles. Rockstar, however, has talked only about Xbox 360 Yono all app and PlayStation 3 versions. all yono app So you can imagine our surprise to see this tweet from Sony’s UK Twitter feed: @mrxmas123 GTA V is going to be amazing, especially on the PS4! What other games are you looking forward to playing, Norman? — Sony UK & Ireland (@SonyUK) August 27, 2013 That tweet, spotted by NeoGAF, comes as a response to a player who mentioned being excited about what he calls “GTA 5 MIAMI” being on the PlayStation 4… a console for which the actual game GTA V hasn’t been announced. Sony UK’s response seems to suggest that the game will be on PS4. Which, of course, did sort of seem like a typo, though the Sony Twitter account has also been retweeting the guy’s excitement about the GTA V on PS4.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"1209558424","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"uncategorized","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"uncategorized","TAGS":"grand-theft-auto,playstation","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); We reached out to Rockstar and Sony to ask what the story was. A Rockstar spokesperson told us that the tweet is a typo and pointed out that the Sony UK Twitter account isn’t directly related to Sony’s PlayStation division. (They tweet at @PlayStationEU.) We’ve yet to hear back from Sony, but we’ll update this article when we do. Update: Sony has confirmed the typo and apologized on Twitter: Apologies for the typo about GTA V. It's due for release on PS3 on September 17th. — Sony UK & Ireland (@SonyUK) August 27, 2013 Original post follows. While next-gen go rummy versions of GTA V—likely to be one of the biggest games of the year—seem probable, this would have been a very peculiar way for the news to get out, particularly because a next-gen announcement this early would likely take a bite out of current-gen preorders of the game. It’s been a heck of a few days for Sony and GTA V—this all comes shortly after the pre-load PlayStation 3 version of the game was hacked, resulting in a number of spoilers and music playlists hitting the web. (Sony has since acknowledged the leak and apologized.) https://kotaku.com/sony-acknowledges-grand-theft-auto-leak-says-its-sorr-1195020954
