At X06 late last month Microsoft was very keen to make it known that the Xbox 360 version of Grand Theft Auto IV will feature exclusive downloadable content, in the form of two epic episodes with hours of new gameplay. It now appears that the same is true of the PlayStation 3 version.
Speaking to Eurogamer, an unnamed source said to be close to Rockstar North said the team is working on extra downloadable content for both versions of the game. The new content will be unique to each system and will essentially be some brand new areas that link in with the rest of the game world.
The source says to “think of the world as a large island – the new downloadable areas will be like smaller islands linking into it.“
It’s one thing to charge for new exclusive content post release, but by offering different content for each platform Rockstar is more likely to be pleasing the platform holders than the people who buy their games – the full GTA IV experience will now require a PS3, an Xbox 360, a copy of the game for each platform, and the cost of the extra content.
Grand Theft Auto IV is scheduled to launch here in Europe on Xbox 360 and PS3 on October 19, 2007.
