GTA IV’s online multiplayer section looks like it could be heading to the 360 only if gossiping Microsoft execs are to be believed.

Our thumb twitching mates at CVG have sniffed out news that the two suits from the Big M described the game’s multiplayer as ‘unique to 360’ and that punters would get the ‘premium experience on our platform.’

The idle chatter was part of a gaming podcast, which you can check out by hitting the link down below.

If it turns out to be true, it’ll be a major coup for the Xbox. The online portion of the game has had us us salivating since we first heard word of it way back last year.

GTA Iv hits the shelves on April 29th, having initially been slated for an October 2007 release. Word on the street is that once again Rockstar are not going to disappoint.
