GTA 5 Delayed for PC, System Requirements Revealed

Traffic in Los Santos is worse than we thought -- Grand Theft Auto V for PC was delayed by a couple of months, but at least we now know its system requirements.

Rockstar Games has announced that Grand Theft Auto V for PC has a new release date, which is a couple months later than we were originally expecting. The studio claims it needs more time to test and polish everything in the PC version, which we're perfectly fine with them doing. Once the PC gaming community starts modding the heck out of GTA V, we will have all forgotten about this slight delay and be glad Rockstar took the time to iron everything out. Rockstar confirmed that GTA Online will support up to 30 players for PC. We hope you've got a ballin' computer rig, because Los Santos and Blaine County can support visuals running at 60 fps and 1080p with up to a 4K resolution. If you've got a triple monitor setup, you're going to need Nvidia 3D Vision to run it.
