'GTA V' for PC Launched (VIDEO)
Rockstar has just launched "Grand Theft Auto V" for PC yesterday after making the announcement on their Twitter feed.
Rockstar Games' action adventure video game "Grand Theft Auto V" launched on PC April 13 and 14 preceded by the game developer's announcement on Twitter last Friday.
The launch benefited users who had already pre-loaded the game for their PCs starting April 7, giving them the opportunity to immediately download the massive 59GB game content in readiness for the PC launch of GTA's fifth installment in the series.

Players on Steam may have experienced some delay with the pre-loading since it went live last week, and quite a number of gamers are still awaiting their 60GB files.
By offering the pre-loading option for "GTA V," Rockstar was able to lighten the server strain in preparation for yesterday's launch, given the amount of data required for downloading the game.
'GTA V" is currently one of the top titles in the sales charts for Steam, which has held steady since March, based on the number of pre-orders alone.
The long-expected "GTA V" for PC, which players spent nearly two years waiting for, was initially released for Xbox 360 and PS 3 in 2013, and for PS 4 and Xbox One last year featuring a much touted graphics upgrade and even a first person mode that stirred up the gaming community when users discovered they could simulate first person sex in the game, causing some retail outlets in Australia to take the title off their shelves.
The PC version release of "GTA V" will include brand new and upgraded features like the full video editor that gives players the use of new tools such as the ability to go into director mode and take the roles of the game's other characters and animals.
