• Reported GamesBeat, citing four unnamed industry sources, says a PC version is planned for January–March 2027. Rockstar has not commented. There is still no official PC date.
• Reported Rob Nelson told creator Davy Jones on 28 August there is no full first-person mode at launch. First-person is limited to scoped aiming and the phone.
