Grand Theft Auto 5 landing on September 17
Rockstar has pegged the release of Grand Theft Auto 5 for September 17 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Mark your calendars, open world crime fans. Grand Theft Auto 5 has been given an official release date of September 17 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The announcement gave no mention of the rumored PC version.
Rockstar acknowledges that this is a delay from its spring release window, which it attributes to giving the game additional development time.
"Grand Theft Auto V continues to push the series forward in new ways; Rockstar North are creating our deepest, most beautiful and most immersive world yet," said Rockstar founder Sam Houser in the announcement. "We are very excited for people to learn more about the game in the coming months."

man thats a tough decision if the new consoles will be arriving right after that
-
Hopefully there is a PC version so it won't matter. That is how I am planning to bridge the new console generation.
-
I imagine that the PC version will be coming out much later than the console versions.
-
-
I'm concerned about that as well. IF a new console lands this fall, will current-gen games that slip into Q4 or beyond--GTA 5, Dark Souls 2, and so on--get unfairly overlooked?
I think big-name games like GTA and Dark Souls will do well. Not only do they have huge fan bases, but new console need at least 12 months to gather steam. You can only play the 1-2 quality launch titles for so long before you start hunting around for something to play on "old" hardware. But I do think the shininess of new hardware could put a dent, even if only a slight one, in the momentum of current-gen games. -
Agreed, wish this gen of consoles would die already so we can move on to sparkly new next gen hardware. Fucking console longevity...

yeah, kinda weird

Vacation time....about to be booked.....
-
I was thinking that too, but I am leery of scheduling vacation time now because we all know how Rockstar loves to give us an actual date and then delay by a few weeks or month. I think I am going to have to wait till closer to September to see if this actually comes out on the 17th.

So they will be releasing this on the x360 and ps3 just before the new consoles are due out. That sounds like a great idea :)
Odds of xbox 720 and ps4t version at e3? Possible, more likely they hit a delay again but HAVE to get it out before the new console launch. What would you get gta5 or a new console and its new games? That had to have figured into this release date. -
Proof that we don't need a new console, just better games.
-
People People People, think more clearly, remember God of War 2 for the PS2 - it came out RIGHT at the end of the PS2's cycle and I think the PS3 was already out - yet like most next gen console launches, the 360 and PS3 didn't have that much to offer, while GoW2 fucking owned assholes.
Seriously - this game is going to be a slick sendoff to the PS3 and 360. -
fuck em. don't care if I miss their games if they want to force you to turn on a rusty old console instead of using your awesome PC like everything else can.

Hey I played a console game last year. Trials Evolution! That's it though.
-
-
no but the xbox is in the closet now. and Trials Evo is coming to PC even. I'm not *against* consoles, I'm against leaving one out for the rest of the fucking year to put a game in it in September. that's really awkward.

It will be out in March. 2014. For the PC. It's their typical 6 month PC delay.
