Grand Theft Auto 5 PC Release Delay... Again

For the second time within six weeks, Rockstar have delayed the PC release of Grand Theft Auto V, from the 24th of March to April 14th.

Rockstar released a statement earlier today on their blog:

GTAV for PC will be arriving on April 14th at retail and as a digital download. Our apologies to PC gamers worldwide who have been counting down the days until the launch of the game, but a bit more time is needed to ensure that the game is as polished as possible, and to make certain that both Heists and the GTA Online experience are ready to roll out on day one for PC. As a gesture of thanks for your understanding, we will grant anyone who has pre-ordered the game an additional $200,000 in-game cash for use in GTA Online.

 

As always, we ask for the GTA PC community’s understanding and assistance in helping to report any concerns during the early days of launch when those inevitable initial teething issues arise on the new platform.

However, whilst the PC release has been postponed, the heist update for PlayStation and Xbox have not, meaning that Heists will be implemented on GTA Online on the date of March 10th, which will be free for all members to download and play instantly with friends or strangers.

Rockstar also thank the players worldwide for their patience, considering the game was released in 2013.

We thank GTA players worldwide for their patience in awaiting these big game updates and we are excited to bring both Heists and GTAV for PC to you very soon. Please stay tuned for lots more information in the weeks ahead
