End of Windows XP / Vista Support for Rockstar Titles

Last Updated: January 31, 2024

Question: What does the end of Microsoft and Steam's support for Windows XP and Windows Vista mean for my Rockstar PC titles?

Answer: In light of Microsoft’s deprecation of support of Windows XP and Vista operating systems, and in preparation for Steam’s plans to do the same, Rockstar will no longer officially support these operating systems beginning September 10, 2018.

Vista or XP users may be able to launch some titles after this date but will be unable to do so as we roll out updates across our PC catalog. To prevent any future interruptions of service and ensure continued access to the latest platform features, we recommend upgrading to a supported operating system as soon as possible.
