Okay guys, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we finally have a release date for Grand Theft Auto V, the bad news is that it’s way later than we expected.
Rockstar updated their blog to announce the new Grand Theft Auto V release date, they posted the following:
Dear all,
Today, we have an official release date to share with you: Grand Theft Auto V will arrive in stores on September 17, 2013.
We know this is about four months later than originally planned and we know that this short delay will come as a disappointment to many of you, but, trust us, it will be worth the extra time. GTAV is a massively ambitious and complex game and it simply needs a little more polish to be of the standard we and, more importantly, you require.
To all Grand Theft Auto fans, please accept our apologies for the delay, and our promise that the entire team here is working very hard to make the game all it can be. We are doing all we can to help ensure it will meet if not exceed your expectations come September – we thank you for your support and patience.
Yours,
The GTA Team

Grand Theft Auto 5 was initially set to release sometime in Spring of this year, so hopefully this delay makes the game more polished and overall better.
