Rockstar Games has delayed the PC version of their upcoming open world, action-adventure, Grand Theft Auto V, which was originally due to arrive on January 27, 2015.

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.”
