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.

They are probably trying to find a way to stop it from getting hacked out of its mind

Reannex Kind of disappointing but at the same time hopefully it'll be amazing.


I mean, it's the same game as last year, just with improved textures. If you liked the last one, you'll love this one.

Phil_Mitchell I would rather wait a few more months than install and be disappointed.


I 100% agree with you there. I would rather have a perfect, amazing game being delayed than a game getting released and have lot's of issues and bugs.

Exactly, I expect a quality game once it's released and wouldn't want some buggy game.

I may get this on the PC once mine is built, but until that day I will be playing it solely on the X1.

Hope they do a good job with the Pc version as we can make GTA iv look better than GTA V does on xbox 360

Polygon 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!


They won't. They're taking more time so that they can polish the game, now give PC exclusives. You're so silly.


No, they don't want to be embarrassed like they were when GTA 4 came out on PC and the entire industry laughed at them.
