Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has been rated by the ESRB for release on PlayStation 3, and so has Vice City--again. While Rockstar's made no announcements about the two PlayStation 2 classics making the digital leap, it looks like they could follow in the footsteps of Grand Theft Auto III any week now.

GTA III launched on PlayStation Network on September 25, after weeks of back-and-forth release windows. And last week, Rockstar announced a miniature festival for Vice City's 10th anniversary, with new assets and an iOS/Android release for the game scheduled this fall. It wouldn't be at all surprising to see a PlayStation Network release sidle into that celebration.

That would leave San Andreas as the only PS2-era GTA title not on PSN. Suffice it to say, we doubt Rockstar will wait until the Californ-em-up's 10th anniversary (which would be in October 2014) to rectify that.

Former GamesRadar+ News Writer

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar+.
