Rockstar Games has announced that GTA: Chinatown Wars is on its way towards the PSP as both a downloadable title and in UMD format. Apparently the game was so successful on the DS they decided to port it.

“We’re proud to extend this truly unique handheld Grand Theft Auto experience to PSP and offer a downloadable version of Chinatown Wars for PSP Go!,” said Rockstar boss Sam Houser.

“Rockstar Leeds has shown incredible talent in creating games that raise the bar in terms of depth and innovation on portables, and with Chinatown Wars we have a rich, fast-paced, and incredibly addictive entry into the series.”

CEO of Sony America, Jack Tretton, was equally delighted with the news: “Rockstar’s work with the GTA series has been an enormous part of the success of PlayStation platforms.”

“We’re excited to welcome the critically acclaimed Chinatown Wars to the outstanding line-up of great games headed to the PSP platform this fall.”

It will probably sell better than the DS version.
