Grand Theft Auto headed to iPhone Rockstar Games revealed on Monday that it plans to release the Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars and Beaterator titles for the Apple iPhone.
GTA: CTW was released for the Nintendo DS platform earlier this year and has been announced for the Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP), set to be released in October. It will reportedly be available for iPhone sometime this fall.



It follows the story of lead character Huang Lee in a battle with Triad gangs in fictional Liberty City, following the murder of his father.

Beaterator is a title developed by Rockstar and producer Timbaland. Developed for the PlayStation Portable platform, the game is set to be released at the end of the month, with the iPhone port coming this fall. No details on pricing were revealed.

Well Chinatown Wars was developed for a portable system - the NDS at that - but a port of it to PSP might.. maybe... possibly... lead to some kind of development of it for PS3, but it's probably not likely since GTA V would probably come first.

As for GTA IV extras, Microsoft paid a handsome fee for exclusivity of GTA IV downloadable content including Grand Theft Auto: The Lost And Damned and Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony which is due to hit Xbox Live as well. So when it came to these new things for the game... money spoke!
