Rockstar Games, the world-renowned publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software,
Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), is proud to announce Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition and a brand
new iteration of Grand Theft Auto for the highly anticipated PSP(TM) handheld
system. Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition and the new Grand Theft Auto title, which
will be set in Liberty City, are being developed by Rockstar Leeds in conjunction
with Rockstar San Diego and Rockstar North, respectively. Both titles are expected
to be available near the launch of the PSP handheld system in North America and
Europe.

“Bringing two of our most successful game franchises to this thrilling
new platform not only gives us an opportunity to create a new dimension for
these already extraordinary series but also allows us to begin to explore the
full potential of the PSP handheld system,” said Sam Houser, President
of Rockstar Games. “Sony’s extremely impressive technology has allowed
Rockstar Leeds to do more on a handheld machine than we could have ever imagined.
We are very excited for gamers to experience these two genre-defining franchises
in a fashion that could have never before been possible on a portable system.”

“We are working very closely with Rockstar North and Rockstar San Diego
to ensure that both Grand Theft Auto and Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition remain
faithful to the initial vision of these respective franchises,” said Gordon
Hall, President of Rockstar Leeds. “We understand that gamers’ expectations
will be very high for new PSP handheld system titles and we are confident that
we can deliver exhilarating experiences that will set the standard for what
a PSP game can be with Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition and our new Grand Theft
Auto title.”
