Grand Theft Auto V PC release date moved, specs revealed

Rockstar Games announced today that they have moved the PC launch of Grand Theft Auto V from January 27th to March 24th.

Rockstar Games released an apology stating the reason why the launch was moved.

"Our apologies for the slight shift in the date but the game requires a few extra weeks of testing and polish to make it as good as can be. Moving a release date is never a decision we take lightly and is a choice we make only when we know it is in the best interests of the game and our fans. Thanks everyone for your understanding and we assure you these few extra weeks will be worth it when the game does arrive in March."

Gigahertz Specs are surprising tbh. I expected the game to be a lot more demanding, but saying that the minimum CPU seems to be a quad core. GPU wise it seems quite low end though. We'll just have to wait and see.


That is a good sign, it means the game is optimized very well.

This could be true but maybe it could be a little more cpu intensive?

Evo8 The game keeps getting delayed and I find that too funny.


I know its quite annoying but yeah, hopefully its not delayed again.


It probably will end up getting delayed again, After all it's Rockstar were talking about.


Yeah, **** them, right? **** them for delaying the game to make it better. **** them for NOT releasing a broken game.

Probably going to be more CPU intensive then, which I hope it isn't, i bought a 970 for a reason.
