If you purchase the Rockstar version instead of the Steam version, you should still be able to play with your friends using Steam. The two platforms are compatible, and everyone can access games through their respective apps.
I didn't believe it was available for preorder on Steam at all. The only location I discovered it was through the Rockstar Launcher. I just looked on Steam, but it wasn't listed in the search results.
I wasn't aware of that before. However, I did it using the Rockstar Launcher. It didn't really matter to me since I don't play much multiplayer, but preordering through it gave me two free games.
If you purchase it from a rockstar seller, would I still be able to use it with my friends via Steam when they obtain it on the platform?
I didn't expect it to be available on Steam. However, the answer to your question is yes—it will remain playable with your friends.
