Minimum and required specs released along with some screenshots.

The long-awaited PC version of 'Grand Theft Auto V' continues to elude users. Today, Rockstar announced a new release date of March 24. The reason cited for the new delay is the need for polish. Rockstar has also stated that the PC version will support 30 players online and will launch with the long promised online heists. Speaking of online heists, Rockstar has stated that online heists will be "launching in the coming weeks ahead of the PC launch."

The PC version will include the Rockstar Editor, which offers a full suite of capture and editing tools for making zany YouTube videos from 'GTA V.'
