Rockstar Games earlier said in a statement that the release date of the "GTA 5" for PC was moved to March 24 since the game needed "a few extra weeks of testing and polish to make it as good as can be." It also apologized for the slight delay.
"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," it assured its fans.
According to Forbes, the game was originally scheduled for release during the "Fall of 2014." Then it was moved to January and now has again been cancelled.
