Grand Theft Auto 5 Gets September Release

Rockstar Games, the publisher behind titles like L.A. Noire and Red Dead Redemption, has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA 5) will launch for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 on 17 September.

The publisher has justified its move away from a spring release date, May of April for us, in order to allow additional development time and a polished final product. There was however, no mention of a PC release date.

Rockstar has already revealed that GTA 5 features the biggest open world Rockstar has created to date - Los Santos - and gives player the ability to control three main protagonists instead of one.
