Rockstar Games, the developer behind Grand Theft Auto III announced that the popular game series made its official release on iOS and Android-based devices on Dec. 15, 2011.

Upon its release, the game would be officially available for downloads in the App store and Android Market. Though that is the case, not all devices would be able to support this game app due to hardware restrictions. Some devices are not able to support this game hence the limit in the list of devices accessible for this game. Here is the updated list of devices that could access this game:

Apple iOS Devices: iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, 4th gen iPod Touch, and both (first and second) generations of iPad.

Android-based Smartphones: HTC Rezound, LG Optimus 2x, Motorola Atrix 4G, Motorola Droid X2, Motorola Photon 4G, Samsung Galaxy R, T-Mobile G2x

Android-based Tablets: Acer Iconia, Eee Pad Transformer, Dell Streak 7, Optimus Pad, Xoom, Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1, Sony Tablet S, and Toshiba Thrive.

HTC Evo 2 and Samsung Galaxy S2 were originally included in this list but it was suddenly dropped out when the official list came out to the public.

The Grand Theft Auto III version is a 10th year anniversary edition game exclusively for avid players of this game. This is Rockstar's second full title for the App store because back in 2010, Rockstar released Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars to iOS but the response for this app was less than stellar. As for Android, this is the first time that this game is made available for Android users. This 10th anniversary version of Grand Theft Auto III is considered as the first mobile version of the 3D Grand Theft Auto world. Both gameplay and visuals have remained true to its original version though the graphics for this game would closely resemble a PC version on maximum settings. This app version is considered as "sharper" as opposed to the PS2 release.

The Grand Theft Auto III app has a price of US$4.99 and its availability in Australia could be announced immediately after the release in the U.S. market.
