Rockstar Games has delayed the release of Grand Theft Auto 5 for PC from 27th January to 24th March.
The developer-publisher said it will use the extra weeks to further test and polish the game and promised that the PC version will be accompanied by the 30-player GTA Online, complete with Online Heists, which will come to consoles ahead of the PC release.
