Title will feature multiplayer elements for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3
Following earlier reports based on comments made by Microsoft's Don Mattrick that Grand Theft Auto IV would feature "multiplayer support" that was "unique to 360", developer Rockstar Games has confirmed that both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions of the game will feature multiplayer content.
"It's always something we've been open about, both versions will support online multiplayer capabilities," a Rockstar spokesperson told GamesIndustry.biz, although exact details on those capabilities have not been announced as yet.
Precisely what Mattrick meant by his comments is now unclear, although one possibility is that he may have instead been referring to the Xbox Live experience as "unique", rather than alluding to specific exclusivity of the title.
Grand Theft Auto IV is scheduled for release on both platforms on April 29.
