Rockstar Games has confirmed that GTA V Online for PC will be launched on March 24 and will be held alongside the release of the much anticipated GTA V Online Heists DLC. The video game developer however has not confirmed the release date for Online Heists for PS4 and Xbox One consoles but stated that the launch will come ahead of the PC launch.

GTA V Online Heists for PC will support upto 30 players and to play, the game's enthusiasts will sign up to Rockstar Games Social Club and will be required to log in to their account.

Each account holder will be limited to just one Rockstar Games Social Club Account and this will be achieved by the issuance of a single-use serial code to every account holder. Only one log-in will be allowed per account at a single time. Online players will also be required to install a Rockstar Games Social Club platform software that will enable access to the game's network.

To play online, users will also have to install Microsoft Visual C + + 2008 sp1 Redistributable Package, Chromium and DirectX software to their PCs.

A strong internet connection will be required for flawless gaming, software installation as well as the activation of your user account. Rockstar Games will also carry out periodic checks to verify the authenticity of user accounts.

A leaked audio file that is said to be from one Heists mission bears information about the cars and weapons we should be expecting in the GTA V Online Heists DLC. There is a possibility for new helicopters and the inclusion of horses or dogs in the game if the leaked codes are anything to go by.

Rumor also has it that the game will feature six heists in four different locations and more detail has been paid to the game's graphics to give it a finer texture.

However, Rockstar Games has remained silent about the Online Heists DLC details and all we can do is wait for the official launch.
