Rockstar Games is proud to announce that Grand Theft Auto V will arrive on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on November 18, 2014 with the PC version to follow January 27, 2015.

Grand Theft Auto V for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC will feature a range of major visual and technical upgrades to make Los Santos and Blaine County more immersive than ever. In addition to increased draw distances and higher resolution, players can expect a range of additions and improvements including:

- New weapons, vehicles and activities
- Additional wildlife
- Denser traffic
- New foliage system
- Enhanced damage and weather effects, and much more

Grand Theft Auto V for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC will also feature enhanced radio selections with over 100 additional new songs and new DJ mixes from returning DJs across the game’s 17 radio stations.

All players who pre-order the game will get $1,000,000 in-game bonus cash to spend across Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online (GTA$500K each for your Story Mode and for your GTA Online in-game bank accounts).

A host of new, exclusive content also awaits for players returning from the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions including rare versions of classic vehicles to collect from across the Grand Theft Auto series such as the Dukes, the Dodo Seaplane and a faster, more maneuverable Blimp; activities including wildlife photography and new shooting range challenges, new weapons and more.

Enhancements to Grand Theft Auto Online include an increased player count, with online play now for up to 30 players on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. All existing gameplay upgrades and Rockstar-created content released since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online will also be available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC with much more to come.

Existing players will be able to transfer their Grand Theft Auto Online characters and progression to their choice of PlayStation 4, Xbox One or PC. For more info about gaining access to exclusive content for returning players, please visit rockstargames.com/V/bonuscontent.

Stay tuned for a brand new trailer coming at 9am Eastern today – and for now, enjoy these sixteen new screenshots taken from the PlayStation 4 version of the game.

WHY DELAY PC!!!!!

My theory is this. PC has a higher piracy rate than console, so they will want to milk the console gamers first and get as much money as possible before the PC release.
 
Glad I have a PS4 now :D Roll on the 18th, I think I'm going to put a couple of days leave in now.

Would you play the same game on both?

No. how is this relevant?

They delayed the PC version hoping people that have a console and gaming PC get it on console instead of waiting a month and pirating on PC.

If they released both same day, the people with console and gaming pc may choose to pirate it instead.

How is it relevant? Read the comment you replied to again. It's specifically about people being idiots for buying the same game on all the different platforms. Your comment now is a non sequitur in that context.

But would someone who has been waiting for more than a year already not be able to wait 2 months more if they were intent on pirating it?

Finished GTA V on Xbox already though, still need to do all the extra activities and races and such.

145 hours since gta online launched after a month or so then sold ps3 and upgraded pc (aka passport) to enter the master race.

I still play gta 5 on my friends ps3 + 56 inch plasma. that loading time though.....


gonna buy it purely for online. Done everything else.


THIS IS THE GAME TO OWN ! LEGIT! (requires friends and an active group to play with for good experience)
 
I did pretty much all there was to do with GTA V on PS3. Finished single player twice and rank 111 in GTA Online with $15m and two apartments filled with the most expensive cars. I've since sold my PS3 and PS3 games. I'll definitely be picking up GTA V for PC at some point for the enhancements and mods (and I'm glad Rockstar has confirmed that GTA Online progress is transferred to next-gen platforms), but not at launch with an RRP of R799. No PC game is worth that much, especially one I've already played. Maybe in the 2015 Steam Summer Sale if it's at least 50% off.
 
Some games are worth more than others. This game will still sell for R799 on PC. Even at R799 it is still a lot of value for money compared to other games.
