You have to download the Social Club (and Steam if that's where the game is purchased from), but you don't have to pay for a service to play. I do live in the eastern United States, though, so there's an abundance of players, even when at the mercy of the peer-to-peer networking.īeyond that, for GTA Online particularly, there's few bonuses or drawbacks to playing on console or PC. I'm averse to playing in Public sessions, but I typically get lobbies with 10+ players, any time of day. PC doesn't have nearly as many players as either console, but it's not a barren wasteland (players on Steam alone peaked at 143,000 today). I will be honest, i play on xbox one and i never found any cheater, only those morons who like to grief others but who got their stuff in a honest wayīut i must admit that sometimes i wanted to play on pc because it seems to have the most people playing, making it easier to make friends and have crew for missions I just wanted people to discuss in a respectiful manner about which platform you can have a good and honest time playing, with no cheaters destroying your fun. Look, i don't want to create any discussion between the console vs pc war How can someone possibly cheat in a console? and even if they get banned for example, you can't use a VPN on console, can you? Sure, you get banned, you can use a VPN, create another account and whatever and continue cheating if you play on pc.īut on console i think it's different, i mean, i HOPE it's different. I mean, all the time i see people being banned in the game for cheating, using certain mods and etc. I mean, i will make the simplest and probably the most important comparison i can think of: the cheating problem I want to ask, because most people like to say the typical thing 'pc master race' and etcīut i was thinking, and even if pc can have better graphics, is it really the best? I know the question seems ridiculous, but i'm honestly curious about it.

Is gta online different than gta 5
