The 2008 open world game and Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City, containing two expansion packs, can be played by inserting the original discs into the Xbox One or by purchasing a digital copy through the Xbox Store. Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City was rated for the Xbox One by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board earlier today, which is required to re-release a game on a new platform.

In related GTA news, publisher Take-Two reported over 75 million copies of Grand Theft Auto V have been shipped since its September 2013 launch. The game originally launched on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, re-released on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 with new features in November 2014, and finally came to PC in April 2015.
