Grand Theft Auto III Drops in the iTunes App Store December 15th

Grand Theft Auto III, the highly controversial open world action video game by Rockstar, is making its way onto iOS platforms next week in the form of a 10 Year Anniversary Edition.

Rockstar made it official on their web site this week confirming that only A4-enabled devices will support the title. Nothing lower than the 4th-gen iPod touch can withstand the action, the developer said. The iPad 2 and iPhone 4S - powered by the dual-core A5 CPU - are (naturally) supported as well.

The official confirmation from Rockstar reads: “Grand Theft Auto III: 10 Year Anniversary Edition will be available for select new generation iOS and Android devices on the App Store and Android Marketplace next week, December 15th for $4.99.”

The developer promises to roll out a cool trailer next week ahead of the game’s official release in the iTunes App Store.
