RockStar has shown off for the box art for the upcoming PC version of GTA IV. No details were given, Still unclear if this is a straight port or more content will be added. If it's like GTA: SA port don't look for more content to be added. Modding Community will sure pick up where RockStar has left off. Only surprise about boxart is that it will be a GFW title(gaming for Windows). It should also have the achievements. However if you have the 360 version you will not be able to gain more achievements by buying the PC version. Microsoft has stopped the stackable achievement titles.
