: Rumors of a San Andreas Stories title emerged around 2007 but were never confirmed by Rockstar. Industry speculation suggests technical hurdles, such as the 1.8GB UMD storage limit being too small for the massive San Andreas map, may have prevented its development.

The original GTA San Andreas map was massive, featuring three distinct cities and vast rural areas. Fitting this onto a standard 1.8GB PSP UMD disc would have required significant technical compromises.

Some developers are working on porting the original GTA San Andreas (not a new "Stories" game) to run on the PSP hardware or the PS Vita via homebrew.
