Rockstar Delay GTA V PC Port & Specs Released

 

With just a couple weeks until its initial release date, Rockstar have announced today that they have delayed the PC port of their open-world sandbox game Grand Theft Auto V until March 24th. The game was aimed at a January 27th release, with added content and support that is exclusive to the PC version of the game, including 4K resolution support and Nvidia’s 3D Vision for up to triple monitor setups.  I will also come with the fan favourite Independence FM and the return of the video editor feature now known as ‘Rockstar Editor’, which gives players a suite of editing tools to create great video footage, and you can export your video straight to YouTube and the Social Club. It’s quite an impressive roundup of features, and with the team behind Max Payne 3’s port working on the PC version of GTA V, I believe we’re going to be in for a real treat.

 

GTA V‘s PC hardware requirements have also been announced, so now is your chance to see whether or not you can run this beast of a game, and with the release date pushed back you have time to make preparations in order to ensure the best experience.
