GTAV for PC will be arriving on April 14th at retail and as a digital download. Our apologies to PC gamers worldwide who have been counting down the days until the launch of the game, but a bit more time is needed to ensure that the game is as polished as possible, and to make certain that both Heists and the GTA Online experience are ready to roll out on day one for PC. As a gesture of thanks for your understanding, we will grant anyone who has pre-ordered the game an additional $200,000 in-game cash for use in GTA Online.

As always, we ask for the GTA PC community’s understanding and assistance in helping to report any concerns during the early days of launch when those inevitable initial teething issues arise on the new platform. If you do experience issues please visit Rockstar Games Support and send feedback toGTAOnline@rockstargames.com – we’ll be closely monitoring the situation and addressing any hitches as quickly as we can.

The PC version of Grand Theft Auto V is our most graphically and technically advanced version yet, fully optimized to support a broad range of current hardware (system specifications) and features a host of PC-specific enhancements including greater levels of detail, deep configuration options and ultra-high-definition support – as well as the powerful new Rockstar Editor for recording, staging and editing original custom videos.

We thank GTA players worldwide for their patience in awaiting these big game updates and we are excited to bring both Heists and GTAV for PC to you very soon. Please stay tuned for lots more information in the weeks ahead and for now, check out some new screens showing action from Heists.

Even though I'm not a fan of the GTA series, I still respect that this dev will push back a huge project to make sure it's as polished as possible. Not many big devs do that anymore.

I'll say this again. I'm glad Rockstar is doing this.

I mean, look at BF4. They didn't fix the majority of the game-breaking release bugs until over a year later (after all the fanboys bought all of the DLC too... wtf fanboys?). And it's still not a polished game.

I'll take a quality game a little bit later, than an unplayable/buggy game for a year.

I'm just happy my PC will be able to run it. Don't really care when it comes out. TBH, i don't really care about it, period.

My PC isn't nearly good enough to run these games as they are meant to be run.

Rockstar is really good with letting people with all different types of hardware play their games. Something I wish the CoD franchise would do. My dad's PC is a bit more powerful than mine, but his GPU is an older one. The CoD: AW minimum specs have both of ours as not able to run the game, but we can run games like BF4 on High/Ultra(without AA) very well.

This, along with the free online DLC and high quality games, makes me think Rockstar is my new favorite game company.

Yeah, it's nice when companies still keep the casual gamer (me) with old rigs in mind. I can't run any of the new games, at least going by the min. specs. Many of them would still probably run though, just not very well.

Can't say i game enough for it to matter. I game like 3 hours a month, if that.

I diagree slightly. GTA 4 when it came out required at least a £900 rig to run it on medium. GTA games are designed for consoles that have plenty of dedicated CPU and RAM.

Wasn't GTA V considered one of the worst console ports ever? Plagued with tons of bugs etc.? If so, that might explain why they are being very cautious with VI.
