‘Grand Theft Auto: Vice City’ Headed To iOS And Android!

Around this time last year, to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Grand Theft Auto III, Rockstar was kind enough to port the game over to iOS and Android devices.

Vice City is approaching that same mark, and today Rockstar announced that the 80’s edition of GTA will be getting the same treatment. The release date for this new version has not been set, but as Vice City’s 10th anniversary falls in just three days, it’s likely coming pretty quick.

I was quite impressed with how well GTA III transitioned to a touch screen device (I played the game on iPhone and iPad, so I can’t speak for Android performance). It wasn’t perfect though, and I definitely hope that Vice City improves on some of the technical aspects of GTA III: the game didn’t have iCloud support which was a huge oversight, and also was never updated for the 3rd Generation iPad’s Retina Display. Rockstar did a great job otherwise, and I’m definitely looking forward to picking up another one of their mobile titles.

To make things even sweeter, as part of the anniversary celebration, Rockstar is offering GTA III and GTA: Chinatown Wars for just $.99
