Fans of Grand Theft Auto franchise who own a Windows Phone handset will be happy to know that Rockstar has just released GTA: San Andreas on their favorite platform.

The game was initially released on iOS and Android platforms, but developers promised that they would bring GTA: San Andreas to Windows Phone devices as well.

True to its promise, Rockstar Games has released GTA: San Andreas in the Windows Phone Store, though the number of supported phones is disappointingly low.

According to War Drum Studios, the developers of the game, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is only supported on the following devices: Nokia Lumia 1520, Lumia 1320, Lumia 822, Lumia 820, Lumia 810 and HTC 8XT.

Surprisingly, there are a few Nokia smartphones that are missing from the list of compatible devices, even though they clearly meet the minimum requirements. There is no mention of Lumia 1020, Lumia 925 or Lumia 920, which means that these devices might not be supported yet.

Speaking of requirements, Rockstar states that the game needs an additional 2.5 GB download, so make sure you have access to a reliable Wi-Fi network.

Here are the main features of the game, as described by developers:

- Remastered, high-resolution graphics built specifically for mobile including lighting enhancements, an enriched color palette and improved character models; - Dual analog stick controls for full camera and movement control; - Three different control schemes and customizable controls with contextual options to display buttons only when you need them; - Tailor your visual experience with adjustable graphic settings.

It is also worth mentioning that the game supports the following languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian and Japanese.

You can now download GTA: San Andreas for Windows Phone for $6.99 / €5.99 via Windows Phone Store. Keep in mind that the game is only compatible with the Windows Phone 8 devices mentioned earlier (Nokia Lumia: 1520, 1320, 822, 820, 810, HTC: 8XT).
