‘Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas’ comes to lots of mobile devices in December

By Adam Rosenberg Published November 26, 2013

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.

This PS5-exclusive Game of the Year is now running on PC… sort of

Sony isn't planning PC ports for its PlayStation exclusives, but that isn't stopping the emulation community.

Nobody wants to wait for Grand Theft Auto VI on PC. With Rockstar still promising only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions for November 19, a sudden burst of PS5-emulation progress has naturally attracted plenty of attention.

Two open-source projects, KytyPS5 and SharpEmu, can now boot genuine commercial PS5 software on computers. Both remain extremely experimental, so anyone picturing GTA VI running on a gaming laptop this November should lower their expectations considerably.

Madden NFL 27 is coming to Apple Arcade next month, and it lets you run an NFL franchise from top to bottom

Apple Arcade adds Madden NFL 27 alongside Retro Bowl College+ and NFL Retro Bowl ’27

Madden has been available on phones for years, but its mobile versions have never offered the same depth as the main console games. EA is now bringing a more substantial version to Apple Arcade through Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition, which launches on August 6.

As per EA, the game focuses on full NFL seasons, franchise management, and 11-on-11 matches. Players can manage trades, free agency, and roster changes before taking their team through the regular season and playoffs. Quick Play is also included for anyone who wants to skip the management side and start an exhibition match.

GameNative just made it dangerously easy to fill your Android phone with PC game mods

The emulator now handles Nexus Mods downloads and per-game profiles directly inside the app

GameNative is making it much easier for Android players to commit one of PC gaming’s oldest crimes against storage space. Its v1.1.1 pre-release adds Nexus Mods integration, cutting out much of the file shuffling usually required to get PC game mods running on a phone.

According to GameNative’s official release notes, users can sign in to a Nexus account and download mods through the app. Downloads can be paused and resumed too, so losing your connection shouldn’t force you back to the beginning.
