Grand Theft Auto 5 for PC hit with yet another delay; Heists coming in March
At this point, will we ever see Grand Theft Auto 5 on PC?
Rockstar Games is once again announcing it’s pushing back the release date of the PC version of Grand Theft Auto 5 to April 14.
In a new post published on Rockstar Newswire, the developer acknowledges the delay by apologizing to its potential customers yet again. “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,” Rockstar writes. To thank those who pre-ordered the game, Rockstar is granting an additional $200,000 in-game cash for use in GTA Online
Rockstar follows up its apology by going into what PC players should expect from their version of Grand Theft Auto 5. “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.”
In addition to the PC version’s delay, Rockstar also announced Online Heists will finally be launching on March 10. Online Heists will be a brand-new 4-player co-op experience that gives players the chance to team up together to pull off a string of raids and robberies across both Los Santos and Blaine County.

Feel bad about all the flak they're getting. Can't imagine having to port a console game with the level of complexity and detail to the PC and all of its wonderful GPU, CPU, RAM, Hard Drive, Resolution, Refresh Rate, and much much much more variations. It's hard enough developing a game to fit multiple mobile screen sizes.

They bring it on themselves by claiming unrealistic release dates to begin with. This isn't their first rodeo with porting a console game to PC, they know very well what they are getting into. There would be no need for the constant delay announcements had they said "when it's done" like folks who know better.
When it's gold then start your marketing push and put a date on it. This just makes them look incompetent, or just like they aren't devoting enough resources to it and don't really care about it. I don't know why we should feel bad for them, they're getting free press and keeping the game in peoples minds and are turning it into yet more pre-order bonuses. They are just fine.
