Description
The PlayStation is the earliest gaming console to include Grand Theft Auto games, mainly the pre-Grand Theft Auto III top-down installments, as the game is fairly capable of rendering 3D graphics.

Following the release of the PlayStation, five succeeding consoles were released in the following years, including the PlayStation 2 (PS2), PlayStation Portable (PSP), the PlayStation 3 (PS3), PlayStation Vita (PSV), and the PlayStation 4 (PS4), which multiple succeeding GTA games have been release for.
In December 2018, Sony released the PlayStation Classic, a dedicated console containing 20 built in games; in the North American and European versions, GTA 1 is included.
