Back at the end of November we mentioned that Rockstar Games was bringing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas to mobile devices in December. While we didn’t have an exact release date at the time of writing that article, we did say it sounds like it would be in the next couple of weeks. Well a couple of weeks have pasted and it looks like Rockstar Games is gearing up to release Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas either today or tomorrow.
Update December 19th, 2013 9:20am PST: Rockstar Games has released Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas onto Google Play for $6.99. We’ve added the Google Play link below.
Update December 13th, 2013 11:09am PST: It appears that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for Android will actually be arriving next week instead of this week. A bit unusual for Rockstar Games but there must have been some issue with the Android release, which isn’t unusual for Rockstar Games.
We are banking on it arriving tomorrow, or really really late tonight, since the iOS version just hit the iTune store in New Zealand. This means the worldwide launch of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is hours away for iOS gamers and since Rockstar Games releases their titles onto Android and iOS at the same time, it is a safe bet that this game will be appearing on Google Play within the next 24 hours.
This release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will feature remastered visuals which, according to Rockstar Games, makes this the best looking version of the game to date. There will also be a new checkpoint system in place which will make progressing through the game a bit easier. Lastly the game will feature controller support the moment it is launched.
As soon as we know that the game is out we will update this post with a more thorough features list and a link to Google Play. We snagged a video of the gameplay from TouchGameplay which you can check out above.
