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.

people keep saying PC is getting screwed. while i sort of agree to that just look at the stuff they will be capable of doing once it comes out. i mean look at gta 4. the skies the limit for them. i look forward to the modding videos myself.

It always seems like PC gets delayed all of the time.

Lol sucks for PC. At least they are making sure its perfect instead of releasing a buggy game.

And I bet the PC release will still be a broken mess just like GTA IV was on release.

Obviously the reason, can't wait to get it on the One though. I'm sure it will be a lot better, graphically, on PC.

Ache Why is it taking more time to polish up (as they put it) on PC than it is other systems?

Seems a bit odd to me, I was really looking forward to the release for PC and they keep delaying it. ;-;

I agree, but I'd much rather wait a bit longer to have a nice, optimized, polished version on PC then another Watch_Dogs...
