The latest Entertainment Software Rating Board listing update has revealed that Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City are coming to the Playstation 3. Sony Computer Entertainment is being listed as the publisher for both games, making it extremely likely that they are PS2 Classic re-releases on the Playstation Network. You can check out some screens from the two games in the slideshow to the left of this article.

Grand Theft Auto 3 was first released for the Playstation 2 in North America on October 22, 2001. It received an M (for Mature) rating by the ESRB due to blood, strong language and violence. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City then followed in October 27, 2002. The sequel got an M (for Mature) rating as a result of contents relating to blood, gore, strong language, strong sexual content and violence.

It is unknown when will Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City be released for the Playstation 3.

Ah bittersweet.

I have been hoping these games would make the jump, but in an HD remake package with trophies. I stilll have these for PS2 and my PS2 is still kicking, so without new add-ons (trophies) I will unfortunately have to pass :(

Platinums: Red Dead Redemption, Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, Terminator Salvation, Uncharted

Sony is adding Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City to PlayStation Network as downloadable PS2 Classics in the future. Both games were re-rated by the ESRB as PlayStation 3 games. Gran Theft Auto: San Andreas was not on the list.

It's just the Playstation 2 Classic version on PSN nothing added to these games.
