GTA: San Andreas finally hits Windows Phone 8

GTA: San Andreas came to both iOS and Android a little while back but has finally made its way over to Windows Phone 8.

Rockstar’s port of the PS2 classic goes for $6.99. It’s a pretty neat companion piece to last year’s GTAV on PS3 and 360, which was set in an expanded Los Santos, including San Andreas.

Handsets need at least 1GB of RAM to run the game. That’s understandable, given the huge poen world. With its release, the entire GTA III trilogy is available on smartphones. We used to need bleeding-edge consoles to use them. Progress!
