So I pre-ordered a physical copy of GTA 5, and I'm currently downloading it (didn't do digital as Canadian internet is a piece of sh*t). Anyway will it transfer to my steam library? I only ask because its usefull to be there, and the same happened with when I got call of duty black ops 2 and ghosts. Anyway please reply, thanks!

GTA V isn't on the list, but I would imagine that's because it's so new. So the answer is yes, you can, but it can depend on who the dev/pub is. It would seem Rockstar/Valve allow it.



Nahh. The one you got probably uses Rockstar's Social Club and not both so you won't get a steam key. But you can "add it" to ur steam library if you want to use the steam overlay while you are playing it by going to Games (on the top) > "Add a Non Steam Game to my Library."

Just remember, it won't be part of ur steam library if u switch PCs and stuff but it will allow u to use the steam overlay if u want to talk to ur steam friends and etc while playing the game
