Rockstar has no specific retail launch plans for GTA IV in the UK

By Patrick Garratt

Rockstar UK told videogaming247 today that the company has no specific retail launch events planned for Grand Theft Auto IV’s release next Tuesday.

“We’re not doing a Rockstar event but I know some retailers will be doing their own midnight opening launch events,” said a spokesperson.

None of the UK retailers have announced any midnight plans as yet, but we’d expect the Virgins and HMVs of this world to give it a go.

Joystiq just posted this “execution guide” for American Wal-Mart stores to handle the rush once the game goes on sale. Worth a look.
