Grand Theft Auto III Now Available in the PlayStation Store

Posted on September 26 2012, 1:42pm | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games

We’re pleased to announce that Grand Theft Auto III is now available to purchase from the PlayStation® Store for $9.99/£7.99/€9.99.

Released in 2001 to critical and commercial success, Grand Theft Auto III is widely credited as one of the most influential video games of all time and a landmark moment in popular culture. With world-class voice acting, an action-packed and deftly satirical storyline, a stunning soundtrack and revolutionary open-world gameplay, Grand Theft Auto III delivered a new sense of freedom in videogames.

    Just bought it today reliving old memories, but as I was entering a cheat the game just froze and my system turned off out of nowhere.

      For best graphics on a widescreen TV, do this:
      * In the in-game graphics menu select Widescreen On and Trails Off.
      * Press the PS-button, and go to Other settings. Make sure Screen Mode is set to Full Screen, and Smoothing set to On.

      (This also gives the best graphics for GTA San Andreas for PS3. Trails setting does not apply).

      Game runs smooth, no lag, and looks beautiful. Loving it.

        So uhh....GTA3 isn't playable on PS3....It needs a fix. PS2 games had 60fps, ps3 only has 30fps. How did Rockstar stuff that up?!

          @ShadowAven Hey, this is an emulated game. We should be grateful Rockstar even took the effort to release it for PS3. I hope they do the same for Vice City and San Andreas.

          Turn Trails Off in the in-game menu. I found that helped a lot.

        i just finished bioshock2,first time,and just started dishonored. i am ready for a game in a "normal" world like in a gta game. bring on gtav open world with fast cars and motorcycles as soon as possible.
        the 5 ps2 gta games with improved graphics for the ps3 would be great. ps2 owners got the worst graphics and even with hd cables i still only get 480i.

          I've downloaded GTA3 from the UK Playstation Store, everything's fine with the game other than there is no map. The mini map is there but when I press start it's the only tab missing from the menu. Will I need to re download it or something because it makes the game pretty hard when you can't find ammunation.

                    @Daniel_0393 HD remake? I don't need it, I think GTA SA and GTA VC should vome in the original version too at the psn.
                    They must programming GTA 5 ready, thatg we can buy it, that is the importantest.

                    @chase2208 As recently said in the previous Asked and Answered Article, there are no plans to bring GTA III or GTA: Vice City to the Xbox Live Marketplace, due to compatibility issues.

                    Thank you for bringing us GTA III and the other GTA Games R*, You always impress me =)

                      Some offtopic, R* you said: More info about GTA Five, please wait ("few weeks"). Few weeks ? FEW (1 - 10 weeks) so today it's about 7 - 8 week :D J think you not lie us.

                        For some reason while driving shooting isn't working when I press circle, so I changed the controller setting and R1 doesn't work either. What should I do?
                        • flippakon November 27 2012, 4:44amReply
                          @BitterMarston You can only drive-by with the Uzi. Press R2 + Circle or L2 + Circle and your character will shoot the Uzi out either side of the car.

                          @grandsaints It should certainly be available in the UK PSN Store. Dubai we'd have to check on with Sony. If you are still having trouble finding it, please send a message to mouthoff@rockstargames.com with details. Thank you.

                          Does widescreen isn't working only in my PS3?
                          • R* Yon October 4 2012, 11:45amReply
                            @skaposzczet It's the original version of the game, from back when HDTV and 16:9 hadn't yet become standard
                          • skaposzczeton October 4 2012, 5:20pmReply
                            @R* Y But i managet to set 16:9 in GTAIII on PS3 :D.
                            I set "widescreen" in game options and set in emulator settings (after hit PS Button) in another settings>screen type>disabled (i don't know how it is called exactly in english system because i set polish as main language in PS3).
                            Now it's looks great. I'm amazed that it's such a fun game after all this years.
                          • flippakon November 27 2012, 4:50amReply
                            @skaposzczet Yeah, widescreen works.

                            You need to set Widescreen to On in the in-game menu. I also found it looks better if you also press the PS-button and set the display setting to Full screen, not Off or Normal.

                            Also turn Smoothing On (from the PS-button menu) and turn Trails Off (from the in-game menu).

                            With these settings I'm pretty happy with the results.

                          R*, How come GTA III hasn't got a map in the start menu? - Anyway, I've just unlocked Shortside Vale, so I'm hoping to complete the game today or tomorrow. Hopefully GTAV news will be posted, and make my week! =D

                          Thank You ***Rockstar***
