Rockstar Games has finally unwrapped release dates for Grand Auto Theft V (GTA 5) for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

"Rockstar Games is proud to announce that Grand Theft Auto V will arrive on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on November 18, 2014 with the PC version to follow January 27, 2015," according to the official website.

The GTA 5 creators have been bugged by fans over a series of delays experienced since the initial launch of the game.

Now, Rockstar Games offered an explanation as to why the PC version is falling behind in terms of development and release date.

"We're glad to see so many of you are excited for the upcoming release of the new versions of GTAV and we look forward to sharing more details with you soon. We are also incredibly excited to be bringing GTAV to the PC, but the game requires a little more development time in order to ensure that it is as amazing and polished as possible. Please do stay tuned as we reveal new features and information about all the new versions in the weeks ahead," Rockstar Games posted in the comments section.

GTA 5 for next-gen consoles and PC will feature new weapons, bigger wildlife courses, denser traffic, new foliage system, enhanced weather effects, 100 additional new songs and new DJ mixes from 17 radio stations.

A sum of $1 million in-game bonus cash will be automatically awarded to those who pre-order the game.

Returning players from last-gen consoles (Xbox 360 and PS3) will also receive exclusive new content and rare models of classic rides such as the Dukes, the Dodo Seaplane and the ultra fast Blimp.

The brand new GTA 5 trailer entitled "A Picket Fence and a Dog Named Skip" showcases cinematic and thrilling scenes of adventure heists that can truly elevate excitement among GTA enthusiasts.
