Leaks indicated Rockstar once considered AMD Mantle; however, AMD later urged developers to prioritize Vulkan and DX12. The Mantle 1.0 trial has ended. Rockstar collaborated with both NVIDIA and AMD on the PC release of GTA V, showcasing their technology within the game. As an AMD user, I now prefer seeing Rockstar embrace Vulkan or at least DX12 to maximize benefits for more players. I doubt they’ll shift focus soon since the game is already successful, generating millions in sales. They’re likely concentrating on minor fixes and future updates instead of major overhauls.
Despite suggestions that GTA 5 is an Nvidia title and Mantle is no longer around, developers are being told to focus on DX12 and Vulkan. These responses are accurate but seem unlikely since modifying the game for a different API would require significant effort. I question whether it will generate enough extra sales to justify the time investment. Also, based on the patches, RockStar appears indifferent to fixing issues that could boost player numbers. The only plausible scenario is a port to Linux with Vulkan support, perhaps as an expansion—though no official plans have been announced.
