Grand Theft Auto and friends arrive on Valve’s digital downloads service

Another publishing superstar has climbed aboard the Steam bandwagon with news that Rockstar is to offer its PC catalogue on Valve’s ever-growing downloads service.

Ten games are available to buy online now – GTA, GTA2, GTA3, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, Midnight Club II, Max Payne, Max Payne 2, Wild Metal Country and Manhunt.

There’s a ten per cent discount available on each game until January 11th, or if you’re feeling cheeky you can download the entire lot for $62.95 – an excellent deal considering the quality of some of the titles.

"We were immediately excited by the opportunity to offer our PC catalogue via Steam because it allows us to reach out to gamers around the world in exciting new ways," Rockstar's head of finance and corporate development Rowan Hajaj stated.

"We are continually looking for ways to give back to our fans and this collaboration will give people a chance to easily revisit some of our greatest titles."

So, who thinks Manhunt 2 will be made available via Steam in the near future?

The BBFC may win their appeal in the High Court, but their certification programme only covers physical products, leaving anyone in the UK to download the game, provided they have the rights to do so of course...
