gta4-logo Serving a blow to the open multiplayer community, Microsoft today announced that the PC version of Grand Theft Auto 4 will exclusively use Games for Windows Live for its multiplayer component when it is released next month.

"As we work toward the release of the PC version, Games for Windows Live affords us the opportunity to seamlessly translate the multiplayer console experience for PC gamers," said Rockstar founder Sam Houser. "The service is a natural fit for the platform and we strongly believe it will help in building a strong online community around GTA IV PC."

Microsoft notes that the game will benefit from future Live features such as redesigned game interface, out-of-game client and marketplace, among others.

GTA 4 is due out on PC on November 18.
