[News] Grand Theft Auto 5 release postponed!

Earlier today, Rockstar Games made an announcement on their official website, detailing the official release date of the latest installment in the Grand Theft Auto franchise. Sadly, however, the release has been pushed back to September this years from its original estimated release of spring. The official date of release is 17 September 2013, four months after the previous estimated date.

The post on the website went on to say that the delay was so that Grand Theft Auto 5 is released at the standard that it deserves.


Rockstar Games made this statement as a comment to the original post:

It also added: To those of you saying or seeing various conspiracy theories about there being some other ulterior motive for this delay, rest assured that they’re all nonsense – literally the only reason we’ve delayed the release is because we want the game to be as good as it needs to be.
