GTA IV PC rumours and soundtrack

Despite rumours of an October release, there is still no official word on a PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV as the countdown for the console release enters its final week.

In the past, GTA games have arrived on PC graphically enhanced six to eight months after the console release and the same is expected this time around, despite conflicting rumours that Rockstar have no intentions of a PC release.

The soundtrack appears to consist of two electronic music based radio stations, The Journey (ambient and chill out) and Electrochoc (electro and dance).

They feature tracks from well-known electronic music artists such as Jean Michel Jarre, Boys Noize and Simian Mobile Disco.

Players hear the soundtrack through genre-based radio stations by entering any vehicle in the game.

Previous versions of GTA have featured tracks from prominent electronic music artists such as 808 State, Omni Trio and Calyx within their radio stations.

If a PC version is released, players should expect to be able to add their own music files to a user-built radio station, as with previous editions, to create a stylish Extreme Electronic Experience.

GTA IV will be available on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 from April 29.

UPDATE: GTA IV will be released on PC on November 21.
