The lights are on
Update: Sony UK's Twitter account has tweeted a correction on their GTA V on PS4 tweet.
Apologies for the typo about GTA V. It's due for release on PS3 on September 17th. — Sony UK (@SonyUK) August 27, 2013

Original Story:
We're taking this with a grain of salt, especially since official Twitter accounts haven't been the most reliable lately. However, the official Sony UK Twitter feed seems pretty confident about a next-generation version of Grand Theft Auto V appearing on the PlayStation 4.
@mrxmas123 GTA V is going to be amazing, especially on the PS4! What other games are you looking forward to playing, Norman? — Sony UK (@SonyUK) August 27, 2013

We've reached out to both Sony and Rockstar for guidance on whether this is a goof or if Sony UK just let a San Andreas-sized cat out of the bag. Rockstar says it doesn't have an official statement (Update: Rockstar has now informed us that the Sony UK tweet was a typographical error), and Sony hasn't gotten back to us yet. Our fingers are crossed that this comes to fruition.

Thanks, Mike!
Our TakeAs I stated up front, we're cautiously optimistic about this one. A next-generation GTA V wouldn't be entirely surprising, and we wouldn't expect official confirmation until well after the current-gen version launches on September 17.
Rockstar wouldn't want to cannibalize sales by giving people a reason to hold off on a purchase. A next-gen version is just feasible enough that we thought we'd share this tweet with you.
Cool.
Exactly how do any of these "leaks" hurt R*? I was skeptical about the whole leak incident a few days ago with "assets" being leaked by Sony. I have a feeling it's all just some marketing groups idea of a good pitch. I really can't see any of these purported leaks doing anything other then hyping the game before launch.
Not sure if I'd get this actually. With the 2 month gap, I wouldn't want to wait to play it since I know I'm getting it for PS3. Unless it has a bunch of different features and graphics to die for, I'm good with PS3.
im buying both versions no doubt about that.
Well, the 3 is right next to the 4. Hell sometimes when I mean to put down 4 I put down 3.
If it'll be on PS4 it won't be out until early 2014. They'll want it as a reason to boost their quarterlies me thinks! So that's enough reason for me to keep my pre order for ps3.
Please no. Just current gen is fine. Dlc can come after or red dead or bully hd.
It is probably a typo,if it isn't though i would probably get a PS4 version even though i am getting it for PS3.
...i bet sony is really pissing off Rockstar :/
I think you guys forgot to end your bold in the update. Every bit of text below this story on the home page is in bold now lol
With the amount of leaks that pop up around the holiday season every year, I can believe this. Not having a next-gen version would be a disservice to GTA. Not only that, but it would be a huge loss on potential sales.
SONY! GET YOUR STUFF TOGETHER!
[laughs loudly and sarcastically]
Who gives a damn? Sheesh, can't believe it's that big of a deal. If it is released on PS4, great. If not, oh well.... It's still going to be a great game regardless what system you play it on.
