Grand Theft Auto 5 is coming to the PS4 and Xbox One on 18 November 2014, while the PC version is due to hit the shelves on 27 January 2015.
PC gamers, I know it is still quite some time until the PC release and that prices are likely to change, but don’t stress – we will run another PC price roundup closer to the time. As it stands, however, the Master Race’s argument that PC games are relatively cheap will not hold true this time around.
For those of you who live in the mountains with no electricity and have not played GTA 5 (that is the only valid excuse), the game is about three men, their friends and families, and the quest for wealth, health, and happiness.
The game is also about punching old people in the head and stealing cars from rich neighbourhoods.
Sound good? Let’s see how much it will cost.

To the PC gamers who are crying about the price… CALM DOWN!
R649-00 for a PC game, yeah it is hella expensive, BUT, and this is a BIG BUT (and I can not lie) R649-00 for GTA V, seriously? You are crying about 200 – 300+ hours of probably the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
I can spend that amount in an evening of drinking with friends. STFU and grow up guys. I’m a PC myself, if you can’t afford it NAAAUW, wait for the sale on steam.
