GTA 5 Release Date July 2012 For Xbox 360, PS3, PC - Zavvi

The GTA 5 release date could be as early as July 2012 if Zavvi is to believed. 

The announcement trailer has only just dropped, and already online retailers are taking a stab at predicted the date. Zavvi - the only site with a suggested date - already has GTA 5 pre-orders available for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. 

GTA 4 was revealed six months before its planned release date, however it eventually hit stores another six months later in April 2008. 

With Max Payne due out early next year, it's likely GTA 5 won't release until later to avoid Rockstar's major games from clashing with one another.

Game are offering GTA 5 for pre-order too, though they are less willing to impart a release date. Only Xbox 360 and PS3 are available too, does that mean PC isn't expected on release?

If, somehow, you missed out on the GTA 5 announcement trailer, then you have to see it now. We've already spotted a ton of secrets hidden within the trailer for those willing to look - is there anything we've missed?

EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich told us earlier in the year that GTA 5 could arrive in November 2012, if Max Payne 3 launches early next year - which it will.
