Rockstar has released more information regarding GTA 5, as well as a new release date.
After weeks of rumors, Rockstar has comfirmed the delay for GTA 5. The new release date is March 24, 2015. They say “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.”
But it’s not all sad news, because they have released new screens, information and the system specs of Grand Theft Auto V for PC. We now know that GTA Online for PC will support up to 30 players. GTAOnline will launch alongside GTAV for PC and will include GTA Online Heists.
GTAV for PC pushes Los Santos and Blaine County to even greater levels of detail, running at 1080p and 60fps with up to 4K resolution and support for up to triple monitor configurations, as well as NVidia 3D Vision for up to triple monitor setups.
GTAV for PC also includes the new Rockstar Editor, which gives players a full suite of editing tools to create and publish gameplay clips direct to both Social Club and YouTube.
