'GTA V' for PC release date and time: U.S. gamers will get the game early

Official Rockstar website

Some gamers will be able to play the much-awaited PC version of "GTA V" earlier than they anticipated. Just recently, Rockstar announced the exact time the ultimate version of the crime-laden open-world game will become playable.

When midnight of April 14 strikes, players in the U.K. can commence their troublemaking in Los Santos. For those in the U.S., that's on April 13 at 7:00 p.m. ET or 4:00 p.m. PT. This means that instead of getting it at midnight like what everyone expected, players in the U.S. will get it several hours early.  

Not too long ago, PC players were very frustrated of the game's constant delays. It was originally released in September 2013, and they had to wait a year and a half to finally get it. The frustration was understandable; but then came the trailer showing the game at 1080p at 60 frames per second, and every aggravated PC gamer forgot all the postponements and marveled at the game's pristine visual quality and elaborate detailing. Indeed, "GTA V" is worth the long wait. 

Judging from the trailer alone, many believe that "GTA V" is the biggest game there is, not only for those who get their game fix on a PC, but for this generation. With its official release looming closer, gamers are at the edge of their seats for sure. 

With less than 48 hours of waiting, fans may still be busy pre-loading "GTA V," which comes with seven physical discs and a whopping 65 GB size. The latest PC iteration of the critically-acclaimed Rockstar-developed franchise is still available for pre-loading at Rockstar and Steam.
