Account and install rules
Installation and multiplayer play need a log-in to the Rockstar Games network, and an internet connection is required for activation and periodic entitlement checks. The installer adds the Rockstar Games platform, DirectX, Chromium and the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable. Each serial code registers to one Rockstar Games account, only one log-in is allowed per account at a time, and used codes cannot be transferred. Rockstar warns that downloadable content and programming changes will change the requirements over time, and that mobile chipsets, integrated graphics and AGP cards can be incompatible.
The split between the two editions is explained on version history, and key bindings are on default controls.
