2001’s release of Grand Theft Auto III introduced the already controversial world of Rockstar Games’ steadily growing the series into the world of three dimensional titles as titles prior were top-down projects. The first installment for the new millennium truly kick started a new genre for open-world games that we are traditionally welcomed with now living in 2019.
And now it seems that the near two-decade old title could be making a return for modern hardware. According to a new listing on Australian Classification, Grand Theft Auto III emerged on the Australian Ratings Board. Listed as a “multi platform” title, this leaves the implication that new hardware will receive a port for the game.
Rockstar Games already released the game on PlayStation 4 back in 2015 alongside a slew of other titles under the New York publisher prior: not to mention mobile ports for Android and iOS also. As well as the PC already holding a version since the game’s launch, the two remaining culprits are pinned towards the Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
Looking that the game’s original release date is settled late this October, October 22, we could see the game emerge for new both Microsoft’s and Nintendo’s platforms in that area of time. While the game on Sony’s console is a direct port, at least 1080p support is predicted to derive from this potential release for more hardware.
