Grand Theft Auto 3 (GTA 3)was first released back in 2001 and is famous for defining modern open-world games by aiming to create what developers called a “living, breathing 3D world” (via IGN). The title’s emphasis on autonomy and player choice extended intoVice CityandSan Andreas, both of which expanded on the flexibleGTA 3free roaming formula.
Though we don’t yet have an official trailer for the game’s mobile version, you can check outThe Definitive Edition’s initial trailer below, which shows off the title’s graphical improvements for the console and PC versions. With any luck, these will be preserved for the mobile incarnation.
