GTA 5 delayed on PC

Grand Theft Auto 5's PC release date has been knocked a couple of months into the future to March 24, according to an announcement today on the GTA 5 newswire. The reasons: "testing and polish". Here's there full statement.
"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."
The PC version will come with some extras. It'll run at 4K resolution and comes with a video editor so you can film your own Scorsese crime epics, or create gifs of Trevor falling off things in slow motion. Rockstar also announced the system requirements today, and they're not too bad.
The last minute delay is bad news for anyone who booked time off to play it in their pants for days—ahem—but we can at least spend the extra time daydreaming about the mods we'd love to see for GTA 5 PC, or new ways to play GTA 5 without breaking the law. It'll hopefully be worth the wait because, as Andy explains, GTA 5 will be best on PC.

If it's best on PC, that will be a first for the franchise. It's one which I've always bought for console rather than getting what comes across as a cheap port for PC

You must be fully unaware of the massive modding community that follows these games. If you don't like how the game is when it comes out vanilla, mod it to your hearts content. There's pretty much nothing you can't change and make better, that's what's so great about PC games.

It's also not one of the franchises I spend enough time with to care much whether it's modable or not.
