Grand Theft Auto: Vice City iOS and Android release date

Rockstar has announced a 6th December release date for its Grand Theft Auto: Vice City 10th Anniversary Edition.

The iOS and Android version will cost $4.99 (about £3.10) and follows a similar mobile edition of Grand Theft Auto 3 last year.

A new post on the Rockstar blog details a number of graphical tweaks set to be included. The developer has updated character models and lighting effects, added new and more precise firing and targeting options, a fully customisable control layout and native support for Retina display devices.

Vice City's 10th Anniversary Edition will be compatible with iPhone 4 and above, iPad and a long list of Android phones and tablets. See below for the full selection.

Rockstar announced the mobile port back in October - ten years after Grand Theft Auto: Vice City originally launched, which makes us feel old.

Meanwhile, the PC version of Vice City was recently pulled from Steam due to a licensing issue with the Michael Jackson song Wanna be Startin' Something.
