Grand Theft Auto 5 is one of the premiere games of last generation. Its massive game world, combined with interesting characters and a compelling plot, provided what many argue is one of the best games of all-time. Though, there is a sad side to all of this pleasantry: PC users have yet to get their hands on the game. To make matters worse, it's been announced that Grand Theft Auto 5 has been pushed back into a March release on PC.
Rockstar Studios, developers of the title, issued this statement regarding the change in scheduling:
“Our apologies for the slight shift in the date but the game requires a few extra weeks of testing and polish to make it as good as can be. Moving a release date is never a decision we take lightly and is a choice we make only when we know it is in the best interests of the game and our fans.”
Although, they were quick to reiterate that Grand Theft Auto Online will still be receiving its new heists "in the coming weeks."
