Looks like a good news for GTA fans as Rockstar has finally confirmed the release dates of PC version of "GTA 5" as well as the much-anticipated heist mode for "GTA Online."
PlayStation.Blog announced on Feb. 24 that "Grand Theft Auto Online Heists" is scheduled for March 10.
According to the blog, the upcoming heists will bring a brand new four-player cooperative gameplay experience to "GTA Online," giving players an opportunity to team up to pull off a string of intense robberies and multi-part raids across Los Santos and Blaine County.
Check out some new screens that show action from Heists.
The PC release date was originally slated to release alongside the PS4 and Xbox One versions in Nov.
According to an announcement on Rockstar's website, the PC release date is apparently pushed back again.
According to Rockstar, "GTA V" for PC is set to arrive at retails on April 14 as a digital download. Rockstar Games apologized to PC gamers worldwide who have been waiting for the launch of the game and said that in order to ensure that the game is as polished as possible, little more time is needed. A bit more time is needed also to make sure that Heists, as well as the GTA Online experience, are ready to roll out on day one for PC, Rockstar added.
What may excite players who have pre-ordered the game is the fact that Rockstar is giving additional $200,000 in-game cash for "GTA Online" as a gesture of thanks for their patience. The multinational video-game developer asked for the GTA PC community's understanding and assistance in helping to report any concerns during the early days of launch. Rockstar Games assures they will be closely monitoring and addressing any hitches as soon as they can.
According to Rockstar, the PC edition of GTA 5 is the developer's most graphically and technically advanced version yet. The game is fully optimized to support an array of current hardware and boast a host of PC-specific enhancements such as ultra-high-definition support, deep configuration options and greater levels of details.
In addition, Rockstar will include the powerful new Rockstar Editor for recording, staging as well as editing original custom videos. Rockstar Editor will offer players a "full suite" of tools that players can use to create and publish clips to the Rockstar Social Club and YouTube.
