Why GTA 5 will be delayed on PC

4.7
Last week, Rockstar finally revealed the release date of the new-gen versions of GTA 5. Much to the letdown of many PC fans, the developer announced that the PC version will arrive just over two months later than its PS4 and Xbox One counterparts.


Rockstar today however provided an -albeit usual- explanation for the delay. The developer posted a reply on the official blog to the fans wondering about the PC version delay.

“We’re glad to see so many of you are excited for the upcoming release of the new versions of GTAV and we look forward to sharing more details with you soon. We are also incredibly excited to be bringing GTAV 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 reply read.

The PS4 and Xbox One versions will arrive November 18, with the PC version arriving January 27.

GTA 5 is going to be dead soon anyways.

Its kinda obvious why its delayed, kinda disappointed getting told Fall 2014, then it turns out to be the Next Gen release date.
Still, the longer they take the better, at least then it might not be a wreck like some of their PC releases.
PC community would be a big money maker for R*.

I'm glad that it's coming out later.
It means more stuff!

Hopefully they'll add loads more cars, (obviously improve graphics), more pedestrians, more particles and just general more things!

I really do hope they do something HUGE for pc. I'm not sure what they can do but I hope they surprise everyone.

MuddinPosted:

Who knows, they could be planning something massive on PC, I mean they already have added extra things on next gen.

I hope they're polishing the bugs that made the GTA IV launch a wreck, but it still is, not very well optimized.
