GTA V PC Delay Explained

Rockstar sheds some light on Grand Theft Auto V's PC delay.

With PC players having already waited a year for a version of Grand Theft Auto V to be available on computers, they received disappointing news last week after Rockstar revealed the delay. Now Rockstar has offered a brief explanation for the reason.

"We're glad to see so many of you are excited for the upcoming release of the new versions of GTA V and we look forward to sharing more details with you soon," reads a Rockstar statement in the comments section of its website. "We are also incredibly excited to be bringing GTA V to the PC, but the game requires a little more development time in order to ensure that it is as amazing and polished as possible. Please do stay tuned as we reveal new features and information about all the new versions in the weeks ahead."

The Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC versions of GTA V will offer a variety of improvements over the last-gen versions of the game.

Previously the PC version of GTA V was to be released alongside the current gen console versions. It will now launch on January 27, while the new console versions launching on November 18.
