Rockstar Games is set to launch Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for just about every mobile platform you can imagine starting in December 2013. The third and final game in the series released during the PlayStation 2/Xbox generation, San Andreas follows Rockstar’s earlier mobile releases of GTA III and GTA: Vice City. The mobile version is confirmed for “select” iOS, Android, Amazon Kindle, and Windows Mobile devices, according to the press release.

Much like the previous mobile GTA releases, the portable version of San Andreas features contextual touch controls, an eased up difficulty, and a more mobile-friendly checkpoint system. The release also includes full controller support, including the newly enhanced “Made for iOS” compatibility that iOS 7 introduced.

There’s no word on when the game will be released, but December is just days away. We should be hearing more on this one soon.

Netflix and Rockstar Games revealed that Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition will come to the services game catalog in December.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is a package that features remasters of Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It was first released for PC and consoles in late 2021. Although the ports were derided for having a plethora of technical problems at launch, they have improved since then. Now, Netflix is making a major play by bringing these remastered GTA games to the service around the same time a Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer is expected to drop.
