Rockstar Games has delayed the upcoming PC version of ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ from its initial January 27 release date to March 24.
“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,” Rockstar Games stated in a post. “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.”
In light of the delay, Rockstar stated that it would not affect the release of the upcoming heist missions for ‘Grand Theft Auto Online’ on the console versions of the game in the coming weeks. Regardless, the missions themselves are set to be included on launch for the PC version when it drops in March.
