It was bad enough when GTA V was delayed the first time around from January to March, but Rockstar are rustling your jimmies again with a further delay to the highly anticipated PC version scheduled for release April 14th. However there is some good news for us dirty console peasants.
"We are excited to announce that the launch of Heists for GTA Online is scheduled for March 10th. We know it’s been a wait, and appreciate your patience. Heists will bring a brand new 4-player cooperative gameplay experience to GTA Online, giving players the chance to team up to pull off a string of intense, multi-part raids and robberies across Los Santos and Blaine County. Over the next couple of weeks, we will have more information about the launch of Heists and about other new features that we will release with it.”
As way of apology those who have already pre-ordered the game will be getting an additional $200,000 in-game cash for GTA Online. You can read their reasoning for the delay but the long and short of it is that they’re optimising the game to make it as polished as possible, really a month’s extra wait for a better product will only benefit PC gamers in the long run. Rockstar also urge those in the GTA PC Community to report any problems in the initial launch of the game;
“As always, we ask for the GTA PC community’s understanding and assistance in helping to report any concerns during the early days of launch when those inevitable initial teething issues arise on the new platform. If you do experience issues please visit Rockstar Games Support and send feedback to [email protected] – we’ll be closely monitoring the situation and addressing any hitches as quickly as we can.”
While it’s annoying that there’s more waiting it’ll only benefit consumers, which is nice considering the amount of broken games and the fact that nine times out of ten PC ports often get shafted. Hopefully you’ll be able to fill that one month gap with a different title.
Heists confirmed for March 10th!
Gamers all across the world have been waiting patiently for Rockstar to finish putting together their Heists, and now they're only a fortnight away!
All aboard the hype train!
