At E3 Microsoft unveiled with Peter Moore’s GTA IV tatoo that Grand Theft Auto IV was coming to Xbox 360 first. On top of that Xbox 360 owners would get “exclusive access to two downloadable, epic episodes of GTA IV via Xbox Live, each with hours of entirely new gameplay and available only on Xbox 360 just months after the release of the title”.
But PS3 owners might not be left in the dark, because according to a source close to Rockstar North, the team is working on exclusive supplemental content for both systems! It will be made available for download via Microsoft and Sony’s respective online services after the game’s release on October 16-19, 2007.
Eurogamer was told that the PS3 version’s downloadable content will take the form of brand new areas which will link into the main GTA IV game world. This was described as: “Think of the world as a large island – the new downloadable areas will be like smaller islands linking into it.”
