 Development of the Microsoft Windows version of the game began in parallel with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions . At E3 2014 , a re @-@ release of the game was announced for Windows , PlayStation 4 and Xbox One . This enhanced version of the game features an increased draw distance , finer texture details , denser traffic , upgraded weather effects , and new wildlife and vegetation , as well as a new on @-@ foot first @-@ person view option . Animation director Rob Nelson said that a first @-@ person option was raised during development on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 , but that the consoles ' relatively smaller banks of memory were already being pushed , such that adding new first @-@ person animations would have inhibited the open world render . According to Nelson , the first @-@ person view required more development effort than simply repositioning the camera , because of the need to adapt combat to a different view . The weapons were upgraded to a higher resolution , and new animations including weapon recoil , reload and switch were added . " I think we created 3 @,@ 000 animations on weapons alone " , said Nelson . The re @-@ release features more than 100 new songs across the game 's radio stations . Players may transfer characters and progression of Grand Theft Auto Online between some platforms and gain exclusive content .
