'GTA 5' PC Release Date Next Month: Preorder Game For $47

“Grand Theft Auto 5” is coming to the PC in April, and Green Man Gaming is offering Rockstar’s action-adventure game for $46.79.

In late February, developer Rockstar announced that the PC version of its open world title had been delayed again. The game will reach players on April 14 at retail stores or as a digital download.

In December, rumors regarding Rockstar delaying its upcoming release of “Grand Theft Auto 5” for the PC, which was originally scheduled for Jan. 27, swirled when the action-adventure game’s Steam listing release date changed from Jan. 27 to “early 2015.” Rockstar responded to the situation on one of its online forums, assuring players the game would be available on the original date. However, the release date was changed to March 24 in mid-January, disappointing PC fans.

“Our apologies to PC gamers worldwide who have been counting down the days until the launch of the game, but a bit more time is needed to ensure that the game is as polished as possible,” Rockstar said on its blog in February.

The deal is available through Green Man Gaming’s VIP section, which users can sign up for at no cost.

GTA 5 Ships 45 Million Copies, Including 10 Million On Xbox One And PS4

Grand Theft Auto V, the acclaimed open-world game from Rockstar, has now shipped more than 45 million copies worldwide to date, including 10 million on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The game is likely to grow further still, as the PC release is scheduled for March.

GTA V's parent publisher, Take-Two Interactive, announced the new shipment tally on Tuesday as part of the company's earnings report for the quarter ended December 31.

Originally released in September 2013, GTA V is now available for a total of four platforms: Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4. Following two delays, the PC edition of GTA V will launch on March 24, 2015.

Another Take-Two game hit a new shipment milestone last quarter. Professional basketball game NBA 2K15 has now shipped 5.5 million units, Take-Two said. In addition, the publisher said the Sid Meier's Civilization series has now reached 29 million total units shipped, while the Borderlands series has climbed to around 23 million units to date.



In terms of Take-Two's financials, the company saw revenue and profit rise year-over-year. Revenue jumped to $954 million, compared to $767.7 million last year. Meanwhile, Take-Two saw its net income rise slightly to $211.6 million, compared to $210.7 million last year.

The largest contributors to Take-Two's net revenue for the quarter were GTA V and GTA Online, as well as NBA 2K15, WWE 2K15, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, and Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth.

Take-Two's net revenue from digitally delivered content, an increasingly important part of the company's business, grew 64 percent year-over-year to $217.2 million. The most meaningful contributors in this area were GTA games, NBA 2K15, the Borderlands franchise overall, and Civilization: Beyond Earth.

Another new area of Take-Two's business, which it calls "recurrent consumer spending," posted year-over-year gains. Sales for things like virtual currency and DLC jumped 64 percent to $217.2 million, led by offerings for the GTA and Borderlands series, as well as NBA 2K15 and Civilization: Beyond Earth.

In all, recurrent consumer spending made up 36 percent of net revenue from digitally delivered content, representing a 23 percent year-over-year increase. Finally, Take-Two catalog sales totaled $103.7 million of total net revenue, led by GTA games and Borderlands 2.

Looking ahead, Take-Two has a number of marquee titles in the works, including Evolve (February 10), the PC version of GTA V (March 24), and Borderlands: The Handsome Collection (March 24).

"With our world-class creative teams, robust development pipeline, cutting-edge technology, and ample capital resources, Take-Two is superbly positioned to build on its solid foundation and continue to capitalize on this dynamic entertainment market," Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said in a statement.

Take-Two is currently holding an earnings call to discuss these results and answer analyst questions. Check back later for more.

'GTA 5' PC Release Date This Fall: Some Of Our Favorite Mods So Far

“Grand Theft Auto 5” will launch for the PS4, Xbox One and PC sometime during the third or fourth quarter this year, and players are especially looking forward to the PC version of the title for the ability to easily add mods.

Mods are modifications of program code inputted into a game to make it operate in a different way from its original version. Currently, players are creating mods of their own for the Xbox 360 and PS3 version of the action adventure title, but “GTA 5’s” upcoming PC version will make modding the game even easier.

Check out some popular “GTA 5” mods below:


New York City-based developer Rockstar assured fans the game's next-gen and PC release would be worth the wait. Besides mods, the updated versions will allow players to see the game's fictional city of Los Santos in a whole new way.

“'Grand Theft Auto V’ will take full advantage of the power of the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC with across-the-board graphical and technical improvements to deliver a stunning new level of detail,” the developer said on the Rockstar Newsire earlier this month. “Increased draw distances, finer texture details, denser traffic, and enhanced resolutions all work together to bring new life to the cities, towns, deserts and oceans of Rockstar North’s epic reimagining of Southern California.”

In its Steam listing, Rockstar assured fans the PC version "will take full advantage of the power of PC to deliver across-the-board enhancements including increased resolution and graphical detail, denser traffic, greater draw distances, upgraded AI, new wildlife, and advanced weather and damage effects for the ultimate open world experience.”

“Grand Theft Auto V" launched in October for the Xbox 360 and PS3 and is an open world action game developed by Scotland-based Rockstar North and published by NYC-based Rockstar Games. “GTA V” received highly favorable reviews and was the 15th installment in the “GTA” series and the first game since 2008’s “GTA IV.” The Spike Video Game Awards gave the title the Most Anticipated Game award in 2012. Following its release, the game received the Game of the Year award at the 2013 Golden Joystick Awards. Only three days following its release, IGN listed “GTA V” as second on its list of “Top 25 Xbox 360 Games.”

Within just 24 hours of its release, “GTA V” generated more than $800 million in revenue, which equates to selling around 11.21 million copies. Three days after its release, the title had surpassed $1 billion in sales. By Oct. 7, nearly one month after the game’s Sept. 17 release date, “GTA V” became the largest digital release in the PlayStation Store for the PS3. The game also received a score of 8/10 on Gamespot.com.

GTA 5: PC, Xbox One, PS4 ‘GTA V’ Versions to Get Enhancements Over Xbox 360, PS3

“Grand Theft Auto V” was announced for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC more than a week ago–a year after it was released.

According to a report this week, it won’t be the exact same game, with Rockstar giving a few hints.

“Grand Theft Auto V for PC will take full advantage of the power of PC to deliver across-the-board enhancements including increased resolution and graphical detail, denser traffic, greater draw distances, upgraded AI, new wildlife, and advanced weather and damage effects for the ultimate open world experience,” the company said, according to Forbes magazine.

Rockstar said it will provide more depth, including better detail and atmospheric effects than the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.




“The biggest, most dynamic and most diverse open world ever created and now packed with layers of new detail, Grand Theft Auto V blends storytelling and gameplay in new ways as players repeatedly jump in and out of the lives of the game’s three lead characters, playing all sides of the game’s interwoven story,” the firm said.

And according to “Metal Gear Solid” director Hideo Kojima, the visuals for “Grand Theft Auto V” on the PS4 appear to be impressive.

“What Rockstar has created and the world they have created is super impressive, and actually when I saw the PS4 version a few days ago I got depressed again. And this is not game design-related, it’s just me. The quality that they showed in the PS4 trailer was really impressive,” he told CVG.

GTA 5 PC and Next-gen: Complete Feature Changes Revealed for San Andreas in Re-mastered Edition

With Rockstar has confirmed the arrival of GTA 5 re-mastered edition for PC and next-gen consoles, some discerning gamers have unearthed a bunch of hidden feature changes in San Andreas for the next-gen release.

The list of changes includes new eco-systems, new wild-life and impressive level of detail with game world, NPCs and in-game elements, as avid fans of GTA have tried exploring the wilderness of San Andreas' countryside, according to a recent report by Movie Pilot.

One glance at the new gameplay trailer for PS4 confirms that the visuals and game world details are breathtakingly impressive, given the new wild-life additions including sharks, snakes, bees, buffalo, puma, elk, rats, and monkeys among several others.

One might visualise GTA 5 as a clone of several games with diverse gameplay elements borrowed from cross-platform FPS and racing games such as Max Payne, Far Cry, Need for Speed, Driver and more.

Unlike previous iterations in the Grand Theft Auto series, GTA 5 brings diverse playable characters with the ability to switch back and forth as the story unfolds in single-player mode.

This boosts the replay value of the game and adds a welcome change of pace unlike the linear playthroughs we see in other action games.

Besides, every playable character portrays a mind of its own to think with conscience and react about the consequences.

The NPCs in the game also react on every action you take such as complimenting you on your purchase and asking you about how things went by in a job interview.

If you are frequently robbing the same store, you will see the cops on a high alert and waiting for you to show up. Besides, NPCs give attention to minute details such as helping an injured cop or a fellow buddy in distress.

With the re-mastered edition, you will likely see more refined gameplay elements along with better scope for minute details that make the game more realistic and enjoyable.

For instance, gamers will notice high-density traffic and revamped car interiors such as speedometer and rev counter dials, dashboard, console and more.

Take a look at the PS3 and PS4 trailer comparison to get a hang of what's in store with the upcoming re-mastered release of GTA 5:

GTA V: Minimum and recommended system requirements for PC

A common question which arises in the mind of the gamers playing the new GTA 5 is, what are the expected minimum GTA 5 system requirements for PC?

Well, the answer is here.

First of all the rage/euphoria engine. The physics engine used for the latest version is the same as what was used in the previous ones, only with some alterations and improvements. GTA IV was not as good optimized as expected but Rockstar Games surely learned from the issues that appeared and the expected PC port will run a lot smoother.

The other factor is to be aware of the commercial thing and they need to sell a lot of copies. Taking this as a basement, the game needs to be created for the big part of gamers and their PC’s. Not every computer can handle new games with unlimited HD graphics. So they could make a game with much higher quality only if the targeted audience would have high end PC’s.

1. Operating System: Windows Vista, 7 or 8

2. CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz or similar
