Grand Theft Auto V Is Coming 9.17.2013

Posted on January 31 2013, 10:00am | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games

Dear all,
 
Today, we have an official release date to share with you: Grand Theft Auto V will arrive in stores on September 17, 2013.
 
We know this is about four months later than originally planned and we know that this short delay will come as a disappointment to many of you, but, trust us, it will be worth the extra time. GTAV is a massively ambitious and complex game and it simply needs a little more polish to be of the standard we and, more importantly, you require.
 
To all Grand Theft Auto fans, please accept our apologies for the delay, and our promise that the entire team here is working very hard to make the game all it can be. We are doing all we can to help ensure it will meet if not exceed your expectations come September – we thank you for your support and patience.
 
Yours,
The GTA Team

    Hey all, we understand many of you guys are disappointed with this news – unfortunately sometimes such delays are necessary in all forms of entertainment, and especially in the case of a game experience as massive and complex as GTAV. However this does not give you free reign to be abusive in comments. The general rules of common courtesy, decency and behavior as listed above the Comment Box still apply here, therefore anyone continuing to post abusive comments will have their privileges suspended.

    Also:

    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.

    For those of you asking about the official box art, that will be coming out a bit later as well.

    Thank you all for understanding.

      @ankhor1991 I feel sorry about them who don't buy it or wait
      for PC-Version (but I tink it will be worth to wait about).
      But I can't wait, we wait for it since GTA IV were out. Many
      fans from part San Andreas was disappointing and wait
      for a comparable part. But I don't make a comparison in
      GTA parts, but GTA V will be different to that, course there
      will be similarities like old Gangs from TLAD - S-A- and
      stuff. I love it already^^

      I am strained about how the sect/cult- kiflom is involved in
      the story^^ I just say *lol*

                      I would like to know when we will be able to see the demo that is only being descibed to us by the lucky few.
                      I feel a little left out as a fan the demo could have been released on rockstars website & youtube allowing everyone to talk about it. Love all R*'s Games Looking forward to gta 5.
                      I think you should release the demo before more people have it described to them in ridiculous detail ruining many of the surprises

                        • jahbless221 week, 4 days agoReply
                          i hope this int nain like IV cause that was the worst GTA ever made in life
                          • StanMarston1 week, 4 days agoReply
                            @jahbless22 that's your opinion. GTA V will be the best GTA ever, trust in that.
                            GTA IV was like GTA III just a mirror of New York, in a little different to the
                            real city, more a honoring. When you don't like GTA Liberty City, you never
                            where in New york I guess. I luv GTA IV and also TBOGT and TLAD. But
                            everyone got an own opinion and if you ask me GTA is the best, but that's
                            just my opinion.

                            GTA V will not only be the best GTA ever, no no no, it will be the best game of
                            2013 and of the current consoles!

                          True But GTA V Drops Sep 17th , Ps4 is Nov 11th , And 720 is May 21 ( i Think im Not a Xbox Fan) . Soo Im 99% Sure That GTA Is Going To Be The Last BIG HIT Current Gen Console Game.

                            @TonyVercogni hi Tony

                            damn right! For now there will be no better game on market.
                            It does no matter when the new gen consoles comes out, I
                            will play GTA in the next 2-4 years^^ or until the next part of
                            Red Dead comes out ;)
