Grand Theft Auto V‘s PS4 and Xbox One re-release produced big sales for Rockstar Games along with a carload of critical praise. Unfortunately, the release of the highly-anticipated PC version has been delayed again. Previously scheduled to launch on January 27, the game will now compete against Bloodborne for the attention of gamers everywhere on March 24.
Writing on the Rockstar Newswire, the developer confirmed that the game needs a bit more polish before launch. More specifically, they said that Grand Theft Auto V “requires a few extra weeks of testing and polish to make it as good as can be.” As a way of apology, Rockstar included the first screenshots from the PC version of game in the same blog post, and they posted them in glorious 4K resolution.
