GTA 5 Online for PS4, Xbox One and PC Release Date, Pre-orders, Screenshots Revealed
Rockstar Games has finally given fans a release date for the much anticipated title "GTA 5" for the PS4, Xbox One and PC. Players on the PS4 and Xbox One can expect theirs on Nov. 18, while those on the PC will be delayed for a bit longer on Jan. 27, 2015.
The developer announced over at the PlayStation Blog the range of improvements and features that gamers can expect for the next-gen version of the title. Among these are new weapons, vehicles and activities, denser traffic, a new foliage system, a more improved damage and weather effects and more wildlife.
Those who enjoy their music while playing "GTA 5 Online" will also be happy to know that there will be more than 100 new songs added and 17 radio stations to choose from. And if you have been playing on either the PS3 or the Xbox 360, the developer has confirmed that transfer saves are allowed even for the "GTA 5 Online," so you can carry over your characters and your progression.
Each platform has a particular exclusive content offered for its players. Those who will preordering the PS4 and Xbox One versions of "GTA 5 Online" can expect a $1 million in-game cash bonus that will be split in half for the Story Mode on "GTA 5" and the "GTA Online" in-game bank accounts, collectible rare versions of classic cars from the "GTA 5" including the Dukes, Dodo Seaplane and the Blimp and new activities and challenges. "GTA Online" will have a higher player count of 30 players allowed for online play.
Over at the Rockstar Newswire, the developer has also posted a couple of screenshots, which you could check out while waiting of the release date for "GTA 5 Online." The developer has also offered a few words on why the "GTA 5" on the PC is taking a while longer.
"We are also incredibly excited to be bringing 'GTA V' to the PC, but the game requires a little more development time in order to ensure that it is as amazing and polished as possible," the developer said over the Rockstar Newswire.
In the meantime, there is still no word from the developer on when the "GTA 5 Online Heists" DLC will debut. Considering that it will still be working on the PC version, there is a high chance that it may come after the game is released on the PC platform.
