GTA 5 PC Release Date News: Halloween Mod Cancelled Due To Computer Port Delay? Holiday DLC Stopped By Lack Of PC Version

Grand Theft Auto 5 PC's delayed release date has led to the cancellation of the game's Halloween mod, leaving many gamers upset over Rockstar Games' hesitance to release a computer version of the game.

"Some of the previous GTA mods have seen Jack O' Lanterns being put up in certain areas of the game, a Halloween house, and also a Michael Myers mod. It is such a shame because we would have loved to have seen what modders would have come up with," writes Product-Reviews.net.

"That is not to say that GTA 5 players cannot get in on the Halloween action, as there are several ways to celebrate the spooky day. First up, you could create yourself a Halloween Pumpkin Emblem, which you can see how in the video below."

Several torrent websites released a 18GB downloadable file posing as Grand Theft Auto 5 last week just after it was announced the game will be available early 2014, leaving many gamers wondering if the news about the virus helped lead to the announcement.

WCCFTech.com, an online source of information for computer gamers, sent a message last week warning about the consequences involved with downloading the game, according to SCMagazine.com.

The website discussed the torrent's high SEO ranking and its false verification from Rockstar Games.

While Hewlett-Packard released a short message regarding the PC release date of Grand Theft Auto 5, pointing to an end-of-month release for the version, the game is expected to be released at the beginning of next year.

"Get ready to own your friends in Grand Theft Auto in October with the HP ENVY Phoenix 810," Hewlett-Packard wrote in a public message to customers, giving many the impression it would be released by Halloween.
