An updated version of Grand Theft Auto III is now available from the iTunes App Store for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad gamers. The new release delivers optimized memory usage for a number of older devices, as well as some relatively minor bug fixes.

Rockstar Games says Grand Theft Auto III 1.0.1 is required for improved stability, particularly for the iPhone 4 and the first-generation iPad. The reasons aren’t disclosed, but high memory usage is reportedly the culprit here.

Various bug fixes have been implemented in GTA III 1.0.1 as well, according to the acclaimed development studio. The mobile version of Grand Theft Auto III is compatible with all versions of the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad that support iOS 4.3 or later. The game costs five bucks (or 4 Euros)
