Rockstar makes move on mobile, announces Grand Theft Auto III: 10th Anniversary Edition for iOS and Android
By no means the Rockstar's first adventure on mobile – see Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for more details – news the studio is to celebrate Grand Theft Auto III's tenth birthday with a splash on iOS and Android is nonetheless significant.

The game – officially dubbed Grand Theft Auto III: 10th Anniversary Edition – has been pencilled in for a launch on both iOS and Android this autumn.

Portable party

"10 years ago, this month, the revolutionary open-world epic Grand Theft Auto III was released to the world – a game that set players loose as a small-time criminal at the bottom of the food chain in Liberty City, a sprawling metropolis where anything can happen – and probably will," the studio said in a press release.

"To commemorate the game's 10th anniversary, we're proud to announce that Grand Theft Auto III will be coming to select new generation iOS and Android devices later this fall."



Not all iPhones - or, indeed, Android devices - will be catered for, however. Indeed, this is one party even iPhone 4 owners will miss out on.

Supported devices include iPad 2, iPhone 4S, Droid X2, HTC Evo 2, LG Optimus 2X, Motorola Atrix, Samsung Galaxy S2, as well as Android tablets Acer Iconia, Asus Eee Pad, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
