[PC] Grand Theft Auto V

Hey guys, can retail copies of the game be shared? I mean if my friend and I share the cost will we both be able to play?

This is first Single Player game I am planning to buy (GTA:V or DA:I - but I have already completed DA:I). Till now, I have only paid for MMO games like WoW, FFXIV:ARR, and SWTOR.

The game is tied with your RGSC account . So in order to shared you have to give login id and pass to your friend . Also You obviously cant play at the same time . I think you should get the game for yourself only for GTA online . There wont be any fun if half of your character level progression in MP is done by your friend :p .

When the game is installed on my PC from Steam can I copy/move it to my pen drive or something? Cause I don't plan to keep a game of 60 gigs on my hard drive for long, especially not when I won't even touch the MP.

Yes you can. Btw moving 60 gigs will take same time as installing from backup. So you can create a backup for offline install.

you can enable Steam Family sharing for GTA V (if bought from steam).. That way, you both will be able to play with your own progression.. Only downside is that you wont be able to play at the same time..
I think you can still play offline though..

Even via USB 3.0? How can I create a backup for Offline install?

ext hdd will be faster. I said that about pen drives. To create backup just right click the game on in your library and select "backup game files", tick select desired game and proceed.

Family sharing is most probably excluded for gta since it is using 3rd party drm

Yeah if I do that I'd do it on an external HD mate, I don't even have a 60+ gigs pen drive.

Thanks.

Any game which uses a Third Party DRM to play is excluded from family sharing. GTA 5 uses RSSC.
