There it is then, we know just what sort of system will be able to play GTA 5. Less positively, we also know how much longer we'll have to wait before we can—the game's release having been pushed back to 24 March.

What we do have is the first screenshots Rockstar have released of the PC version. It's a small selection, but it does include a little bit of arson.

In addition to looking extremely pretty, the PC version will support 4K resolution and—just like the PS4 and Xbox One release—first-person mode. If nothing else, the extra two months of work should ensure it's the definitive version of GTA 5.

For more on GTA 5, check out Andy's thoughts on why it'll be best on PC, our wishlist of GTA 5 mods and our list of 15 things to do in Los Santos without breaking the law.

Editor-in-Chief

Phil has been writing for PC Gamer for nearly a decade, starting out as a freelance writer covering everything from free games to MMOs. He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
