GTA V PC release date; Rockstar remains silent after petitions surpass 710,000

GTA V

Fans that've been waiting patiently the past eight months for Grand Theft Auto V to roar through their PCs will just have to keep on staring at the ceiling.

Rockstar Games has remained coy about when the hugely popular game will find a home in millions of PCs sometime soon. This despite online outrage and a petition to release the PC version that has gotten over 700,000 signatures.

Hardcore fans of the Grand Theft Auto franchise noted that GTA IV was released for the PC 217 days after the console version hit the shelves.

GTA V has now been missing in action longer than that. It was released in September 2013 on PlayStation 3and Xbox 360.

The game hit it big at lightning speed, making $800 million in only 24 hours. It then sold over $1 billion in three days and has since sold 32.5 million copies worldwide.

What the gaming masses believe is that GTA V was a go for 2014. The only question was exactly when. In October 2014, a bunch of Eurogamer sources said GTA V would be released for PC in early 2014. That didn't happen, obviously.

But then, Rockstar Games hasn't officially announced it's coming out with a PC version. The online petition said it's a "big shame" that GTA V is not announced for the PC.

The fear now is that GTA V might go the way of another big Rockstar Games title, 2010's Red Dead Redemption, that never made it to the PC.
