GTAV for PC information, heist info for consoles & launch date delayed til March 24th

Hello everyone! 

Sad news for PC gamers as Rockstar have just announced that GTAV for PC has been delayed until March the 24th 2015, but they have shared the first screen shots and system specs for PC to give the PC users something to enjoy in the meantime! (Perhaps a little bribe to stop the tears lol) 

The launch for GTAV on PC will include the much awaited Heists, which makes the wait seem much more worthwhile! 

The GTA Online Heists for PS4 & XboxOne will be launching a few weeks before the PC launch. 

Rockstar have apologised for the further delayed release date but they explained that the, "game required a few extra weeks of testing and polishing to make it as good as can be."

They also stated that, "Moving a release date is never a decision we take lightly and is a choice we make only when we know it is in the best interests of the game and our fans. Thanks everyone for your understanding and we assure you these few extra weeks will be worth it when the game does arrive in March." Which I'm sure it will be if it's anything to go by the PS4 and XboxOne versions! 

The PC edition will also include the new Rockstar Editor, which allows players to create and publish gameplay clips direct to Social club and YouTube. 

GTA Online for PC, will also support up to 30 players per lobby.

The PC specs will be running at 1080p and 60fps with up to 4K resolution and support for up to triple monitor configurations, as well as NVidia 3D Vision for up to triple monitor setups.

  1. Brilliant Blog Jenna. I won't be getting it on PC as would need to invest in a new set up and can't afford to do so, plus I prefer gaming on a console. The PC version does look incredible and with the video creator should make some amazing videos. Thank you for your blogs. :)
