That prediction came true when Rockstar officially announced an iPhone version in August of 2009, with the release on the App Store coming several months later in January of 2010. There were rumors all the way back in 2008, before the game’s original release even, that Chinatown Wars would be receiving a port for the iPhone. In the fall of 2009 it made its way to the other dedicated gaming handheld of the time, Sony’s PlayStation Portable, complete with enhanced graphics and features that took advantage of that system’s more powerful hardware.Īs for the iOS version, it has an interesting history. In terms of gameplay though this was as robust as any console version of GTA, and in general Chinatown Wars received rave reviews upon release. Originally developed for the Nintendo DS and released just over a decade ago, Chinatown Wars harkened back to the roots of the GTA series with a top-down style and more simplistic cel-shaded graphics that worked better on the DS’s lesser hardware.
GTA CHINATOWN WARS ONLINE UPDATE
The main reason I was anxious for Chinatown Wars to get an update is because it’s one of the more unique Grand Theft Auto games around. All of those problems appear to have been rectified with today’s update.

Today’s subject: Grant Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars! This is an exciting day for me personally because this is probably the number one title I’ve been wanting to be updated to take advantage of the full screen of the iPhone X line and the iPad Pro line of devices, as well as just generally work at all, since at some point Chinatown Wars became nigh unplayable on newer versions of iOS. After taking a couple of months off, Rockstar is back at it with updating their existing library of iOS games for modern devices.
