I hate to burst your bubble if you were looking forward to playing Grand Theft Auto V on your personal computer later this month, but Rockstar today announced that the game’s launch has been delayed. The game had been scheduled to release on January 27th, but now you won’t be able to visit Los Santos on a PC until March 24th. Bummer, dude!
With all the bells and whistles of first-person gameplay, the Rockstar Editor, online heists in GTA Online at launch, and support for triple monitor setups, the extra wait will totally be worth it. Especially if you have a system capable of running the game at 4K resolution. Just take a gander at the new screenshots on this page for proof of that.
Of course, you’re going to need one hell of a rig to achieve 4K quality, but the minimum and recommended system specs actually aren’t too demanding. See for yourself:
