Rockstar Games has today announced the October 30, 2008 release date for the localised Japanese version of Grand Theft Auto 4 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

The game sold 3.6 million units on the first day of release across North America and Europe and six million units during its first week. It's certainly been well deserved, with the game receiving high praise from critics and gamers.
