*** A new update (v1.2) has gone live on the Android Market that addresses issues some users were having on the Xperia Play and adds support for the Motorola DROID RAZR as well. ***

We're pleased to report that the Android version of Grand Theft Auto III: 10 Year Anniversary Edition has been updated today to version 1.1 with a number of fixes along with new support for the Droid Bionic, Galaxy Nexus and Samsung Galaxy S II devices.

This update includes:

• A fix so that immediately skipping cutscenes will no longer cause issues
• The addition of PowerVR GPU support
• Improved shader error handing and a few additional technical fixes

To update your game, just go to the Android Market where you'll be prompted to download the latest version and as always, if you're experiencing any issues with your download of Grand Theft Auto III: 10 Year Anniversary Edition, don't hesitate to contact our knowledgeable support team at www.rockstargames.com/support.

A new automatic title update for L.A. Noire is now available for download on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms. You'll be prompted to download the title update as soon as you sign into the PlayStation Network or Xbox LIVE.

Noteworthy changes and fixes include:

• Implemented a handful of physics changes to prevent floating, falling and traveling outside the map
• Improved crash handling
• Fixed an issue where a clean installation interrupted by a Title Update would still show a "game data is corrupt and is being repaired" message (PS3 only)
• Fixed an issue that prevented players from getting beyond Rank 19 in certain instances
• Fixed an issue where case objectives might not appear in the notebook after replaying cases

As always, if you are experiencing any issues or have questions related to this title update, please contact our technical support team through either of the outlets listed below:

With the launch of L.A. Noire a very small number of Xbox 360 console owners have reported issues with the game freezing or locking up while playing.  We posted some troubleshooting tips on our support site for these very few people, a common practice for any game publisher.  Unfortunately this was erroneously picked up by some news outlets as a 'story,' reporting that L.A. Noire was causing issues to Xbox 360 consoles - which is categorically untrue.

L.A. Noire has not caused these issues to the Xbox 360 console or the PS3 console as previously addressed by us and Sony.   We are always committed to solving any problems people may have with our games and if you are experiencing any problems, please contact technical support below, including Xbox 360 or PS3 support for console issues that may be occurring:

We have received a very small number of customer support questions about PS3’s overheating or shutting down while playing L.A. Noire.  At this time, Rockstar Games and Sony can confirm that neither L.A. Noire or firmware update 3.61 are causing the PS3 hardware to overheat.   We are both committed to working hard to find solutions to this and any issues that may arise.   If you are experiencing any issues with L.A. Noire or your PS3 hardware, please contact technical support using any of the means provided below:

We are aware that there are still some of you out there experiencing issues with Red Dead Redemption, including multiplayer connectivity and getting the Mo Van Barr bounty.   We are currently testing a Red Dead Redemption title update for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 that aims to fix these and other items.  Due to the unpredictable nature of the testing and console manufacturer submission process, we cannot pin down a very specific date and time, but we do expect this to be released for download for both systems by the end of next week.  We can assure you we are working with our partners at Microsoft and Sony to make this title update available literally as soon as possible.

Once again, we thank everyone for their continued patience and understanding.  As a token of our appreciation for your patience and in gratitude to all the Red Dead fans out there, we are also planning on releasing the Expert Hunter and Savvy Merchant outfits and related challenges later this summer for free.  Please stay tuned for more details on that - as well as on the Outlaws to the End Co-Op Missions DLC Pack coming for free later this month.
