In a somewhat surprising move from Rockstar today, a big update for the mobile version of Chinatown Wars was released on iOS. The app is now universal - previously Rockstar had separate iPhone and iPad versions - and new features have been added bringing it in line with the company's other mobile releases in the GTA III trilogy. These include support for MFi controllers, retina display, customisable controls, and the app is now optimised for the new iPhone 6 and 6+ devices.
 
And for the first time ever, Chinatown Wars is now available for Android devices, including Google Nexus Player, Amazon Kindle tablets and Fire phones, and Fire TV. The app is priced at £2.99 ($ 5.99). Initial app ratings from users appear to be largely positive! Links to all versions are below.

Good news for those of you with iPhones and iPads who don't own Chinatown Wars or Beaterator yet, Rockstar has slashed the prices of these two games for a limited time only (offer ends 11:59pm EST, Sunday, 31st July) to celebrate the summer.

GTA Chinatown Wars can now be grabbed for just .99 (£1.99 / 2,39 €) for iPhone and iPod touch, those of you dreaming a little bigger can go for the iPad version. Beaterator is even more of a steal at just {post}.99 (£0.69 / 0,79 €) for the iPhone or iPod touch.

While we're on the subject of mobile apps, you may also be interested in GTA Cheats (disclosure: an app I developed myself), which is available for both iPhone / iPad and Android OS and completely free of charge. It contains all the cheats for every GTA game on every console, that of course includes Chinatown Wars for iOS. You can grab that from the App Store or the Android Market.

Have fun!

As we mentioned last week, Chinatown Wars HD for Apple's iPad is now available from the App Store priced at £5.99 (.99). The game is is identical the iPhone version but includes "enhanced graphics, higher polygon count vehicle and building models, and enhanced lighting and explosion effects that maximize the 1024 by 768 high-resolution touch screen on the iPad."

Rockstar have posted some screenshots showing off the game on the Newswire.
