After much delay, the GTA V Online Heists will reportedly be out in the coming weeks. That is the assurance that Rockstar gave through its newsier, affirming that the online Heists will in fact be out. However, the same cannot be said for the PC version which has been pushed back to March, 2015.
As far as the PC version is concerned, Rockstar needs to do further testing and polishing before they can officially release the game. GTA Online for PC can support up to 30 players and will launch alongside GTAV for the PC.
"Online Heists for consoles will be launching in the coming weeks ahead of the PC launch," Rockstar said.
Online Heists will come out as a free update for users of Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3, PS4 and the PC. Though no definite date has been given on when the patch would be released, rumors have it that it may eventually be on January 27, 2015.
This is according to report from the International Business Times.
For now, everything is confirmed to be in the developmental stages. In fact, a tipster named nillxforums claims that is in the final stages, which could somehow coincide with the rumored January 27 release date.
