Rockstar signs up to Metaboli

Developer and publisher Rockstar has announced that its entire PC catalogue, including the recently released Grand Theft Auto IV and hits such as Bully and Max Payne, is to be made available on Metaboli’s ‘download to own’ digital portal Gamesplanet.com.

It is a genuine pleasure to be able to list Rockstar in our catalogue and above all to be able to offer the cult GTA IV right from release,” Metaboli’s co-founder and VP of content Pierre Forest stated.

We would like to welcome Niko Bellic, the most charismatic personality that the GTA license has ever known. Through its blockbusters GTA IV, Max Payne and Bully, Rockstar is a seminal publisher. This agreement enables us to become the first digital distributor in Europe to offer Rockstar’s entire catalogue.

The arrival of this catalogue allows us not only to enrich the Gamesplanet portfolio, which adds more than 50 games each month and already numbers more than 1,000 games, but also to consolidate our leadership in videogame downloads even further. We believe that GTA IV may very rapidly become the top-selling videogame on our European websites.”
