The release date of the much awaited "Grand Theft Auto 5" may come earlier than scheduled as a pre-order page for the PlayStation 4 version of the game had surfaced.

A leaked product page showed that the PS4 version of the game will be available on Nov. 4, which is weeks earlier than the original release date. It was initially reported that the PS4 and Xbox One versions of "GTA 5" will be launched on Nov 21. Thus, PS4 gamers will presumably get their hands on the game earlier than Xbox players.

The alleged pre-order page for the PS4 version of "GTA 5" revealed that the game will be 50 GB in install size, which is probably the biggest game for PS4, beating the current largest PS4 game, "Wolfenstein: The New Order," with 48 GB minimum save size.

Aside from the large size, the PS4 version of "GTA 5" will support motion gameplay.

"A PlayStation Move navigation controller or Wireless Controller will be required for motion control features," according to the product page.

Meanwhile, the PC version will be delayed, to be released on Jan. 27, 2015. This is due to "a range of major visual and technical upgrades." The delay is for the improvement and development of the game to ensure that it will be amazing and will work smoothly on the platform.

Rockstar Games offers players who will pre-order the title with $300,000 additional currency bonus. This is smaller than the previously announced GTA$1,000,000 in-game currency bonus to be gifted to the players, which can be used both in "Grand Theft Auto 5" and "Grand Theft Auto Online."

Meanwhile, rumors about the successor of the high-speed game have emerged early. Among the numerous speculations is one that presumes that "GTA 6" would feature Houston, Texas and the Borders of Mexico as possible locations which will expand the plot and storyline of the new game.
