In what some GTA fans might consider a double-whammy of bad news, it looks as if GTA V is not only going to be out of reach of those running lower-mid range PCs, but has also been delayed for a third time.
“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 after recently announcing the drop of GTA V on desktops has been pushed to the middle of April.
Again, this may be a moot point to some who’ll likely not be able to enjoy the full experience. While turning down the visual fidelity may get some users into a barley-playable session, it’s clear this game is designed with PC gaming enthusiasts in mind.
