Rumor: Did Sony UK Just Out GTA V On PS4?
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.

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?

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 Take
As 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.
