Grand Theft Auto 5 or GTA V as it is lovingly called has disappointed PC gamers once again, as the game has delayed its arrival by 21 days. It will now be hitting PC on April 14. There’s some good news as well, albeit only for console gamers, as the title’s much awaited Heists will be arriving on the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One versions of GTA: Online on March 10. Rockstar Games has gone ahead and confirmed that the PC version of the game will let you get into Heists at launch.
While announcing the delay in the release of GTA V, the developer apologized to fans, but argued that the game needs a ‘bit more time’ in order to ensure that it is ‘as polished as possible.’ And moreover, as a gesture of thank you to these eager folks, the company will be offering an additional $200000 of in-game cash for use in GTA: Online to those who pre-order. The PC version of this Grand Theft Auto installment is the developer’s most graphically and technically advanced offering yet, and is set to feature enhancements such as greater levels of detail, deep configuration options, UHD support and more.

More importantly though, the game will support modding which is something gamers have been looking forward to since the title was announced for the first time. GTA V was first released by Rockstar for the PS3 and the Xbox 360 (Our review) back in September 2013. In November 2014, it made its way to the PS4 and the Xbox One, while it will of course be hitting PC later this year.
April 14 is the new date you should mark your calendars with, as that’s when GTA V will finally be released for PC, if all goes according to plan at least this time around.
