Today, Rockstar's game Grand Theft Auto: Vice city was officially launched on iOS Apps store and Google Play store. Sadly, the Android version of the game appeared to be having a few issues at the moment.

After multiple users purchased the new game from Google Play store this morning they were met with errors (XAPK Validation error) while trying to install, and eventually RockStar Games pulled the game from our store.

XAPK validation issues are causing a bit of trouble for the gaming company, and now they've issued a quick statement claiming the game wasn't actually supposed to be available yet this morning, and that GTA: Vice City will be back on the Android Play Store soon. Rockstar Official Blog statement:

Final Fantasy Airborne Brigade is coming to Android. As is tradition with Final Fantasy games, the player will be sent on a quest, laying waste to enemies and looting treasure chests along the way. However, the new game has a stronger focus on social interaction. Also, players will be given airships to travel with, which is an interesting twist to the RPG's game mechanics.

Unlike Final Fantasy III, which costs $16 to download from the Google Play store, Airborne Brigade will be free to play, although there surely will be some kind of in-app purchases.
