GTA V PC, PS4 and Xbox One has No Pre-Release Beta; Beware of Scam

GTA V

Grand Theft Auto V publisher Rockstar Games announced that a no pre-release Beta test is set for GTA V, warning people invited to a GTA V beta to ignore the scam.

Rockstar clarified that solicitations or ads asking people to join the GTA V Beta program are likely to be an online phishing scam. The game developer said although it released a warning in 2013 for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, it's still true for the upcoming Xbox One, PS4 and PC versions.

Rockstar showed a whole page on its official website in 2013 to warn people about the scams regarding the supposed GTA V beta test for the game. The publisher also confirmed the upcoming GTA V remastered edition still has no beta program, as well.

The new-generation console versions will be out Nov. 18 and people will have to wait until Jan. 27, 2015 for the GTA V PC version.

The multiplayer component GTA Online will also be included at launch, now supporting 30 players on consoles unlike the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 original game. Those who will pre-order will earn US$1 million in in-game cash -- US$500,000 in GTA 5 money for GTA Online and US$500,000 in GTA 5 money for the Story Mode.

The GTA V release for the PS4 and Xbox One is getting closer and players are roughly one month away from the widely anticipated GTA V remastered edition launch. Rockstar could also release the Halloween update on or before Oct. 31 and could even delay the Heists DLC later in November.

DomisLive added the Heists DLC might not be released on Nov. 4 because Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will be released on that date and could affect the developer's plans to attract players to immerse temselves in the best GTA Online DLC so far.

The Heists DLC could be released on Nov. 11 but DomisLive ascertains there will be an upcoming Army DLC on Nov. 11 for Veteran's Day.

Because of this, it's also unlikely players will see Heists on that day. Another possible Heist DLC release date is on Nov. 18, which is the day GTA V remastered edition will be released on Xbox One and PS4.
