Rockstar Games has a new post about the PC Edition of Grand Theft Auto V, including a new release date of March 24th, just two weeks after saying "We have not announced any changes to this date at this time" (to quote Nicolas Cage from The Rock, "Gosh, kind of a lot has happened since then"). One of the reasons gamers grew suspicious that the PC version of the open world action game was delayed was that Rockstar hadn't yet released system specifications, which they have now remedied with a full set of specs as well as the first screenshots from the PC edition. Here's word:

As we head into 2015, we would like to share the first screens and system specs of Grand Theft Auto V for PC as well as a new release date of March 24, 2015.

Our apologies for the slight shift in the date but the game requires a few extra weeks of testing and polish to make it as good as can be. Moving a release date is never a decision we take lightly and is a choice we make only when we know it is in the best interests of the game and our fans. Thanks everyone for your understanding and we assure you these few extra weeks will be worth it when the game does arrive in March.

GTA Online for PC, which will support up to 30 players, will launch alongside GTAV for PC and will include GTA Online Heists. Online Heists for consoles will be launching in the coming weeks ahead of the PC launch.
