The Original Grand Theft Auto Trilogy Hits Amazon Fire TV
Amazon's new Android console has landed Rockstar's classic PlayStation 2-era GTA trilogy.
The Amazon Fire TV, which is available now for $99, is quickly trying to expand its core gaming offerings. Alongside Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, other notable new Fire TV titles include The Walking Dead: Season 2. Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2, Crazy Taxi, Minecraft: Pocket Edition, and Zombie Tycoon. Twitch TV has also released an app for Fire TV.

Our Take:
While I'm still questioning the Fire TV's decision to not come packed with a game controller, Amazon has enough muscle to get partnerships with major game companies. This is evidence of that. However, old games are fine - the system is going to need unique and exclusive games to truly compete in the market.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
