Thankfully, both Sony and Rockstar have seemingly worked out some sort of compromise or agreement. It was announced over Twitter that folks living in the US who have placed a pre-order for Grand Theft Auto V via the PlayStation Store will still be able to pre-load the game on September 16, from 3:00 AM Eastern onward. Those living across the pond in Europe can enjoy PSN preloading on September 15 at 3:00 PM BST. Hmmm, first Sony had an early GTA 5 leak that they apologized for afterward, and now this.
Update: Below is PlayStation’s most recent tweet on the situation, citing a Tuesday release. What do you make of the situation?
Grand Theft Auto V will be available for download on the US PlayStation Store starting at 12AM Eastern Time this Tuesday, 9/17
