It took a few leaks and some waiting, but Rockstar has finally confirmed the existence of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition. Headed to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and even Nintendo Switch, the Definitive Edition will contain the three PlayStation 2-era Grand Theft Auto games and is set for launch later this year. There will also be a release on mobile platforms, scheduled for 2022. Rockstar claims that the remaster offers "across-the-board upgrades", with better graphics and some modernization to the gameplay.

It was also announced that the current versions of Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City, and San Andreas will all be delisted a week from today, so if you want to own those digital versions for preservation, the time to buy them is now.

In honor of the upcoming anniversary, today we are excited to announce that all three games will be coming to current generation platforms later this year in Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition: https://t.co/cMNwlfj3R5 pic.twitter.com/RrbCl1EWLx

why are they delisting the original games lol

why are they delisting the original games lol

I guess they don't want to pay double price for licenses + they will demand more money for remasters.

why are they delisting the original games lol

That'd cause confusion for people, which in turn could affect sales..

We want some gameplay footage godamit!!

So there's gonna be a gap in time between (old versions delisted 1 week from now) and (release of GTA remasters) where we just can't legally buy these games at all? That's kinda lame.

And IF this is going to be digital-only, i'm afraid our expectations are a little bit too high for this, which means the end result will most likely be a disappointment.

 

[LeyendaV]

Tho it was obvious already, this now makes sense.

 

[ZeroFX]

Smells like shit.

 

[Attila13]

I hope it come in with 3 physical game card cartidges and the booklet also the map. Hmmmm. . . maybe will come true

Let's hope for a LRG Limited Edition.

I used to love and respect Rockstar Games a lot but that has stopped a few years ago, they're barely a shadow of their past self, completely drowning in greed.
I'm gonna pirate it just out of spite

They never released on PSP...

Can't wait to see how many songs are removed from the games, because a small indy company like Take Two couldn't bother to renew the rights to. Also, how sad, the PSP games aren't included.

 

[MariArch]

welp there goes billy jean eh

 

[The Real Jdbye]

Aw, I was hoping it would have the original GTA games.
GTA London was the shit.

"some modernization to the gameplay. "

Translation:
some censorship to the gameplay.

Rockstar would nev-

Spoiler

 

[Harsky]

Wouldn't be surprised if only GTA 3 is on the cart and the rest is a download code in the box.

 

[raxadian]

Got the originals for PS2 so no thanks.

 

[ertaboy356b]

It's either physical or arrr!!

 

[cashboxz01]

They're only releasing it because people found a way to get it without them. They decided they want to make money off it instead. It's going to be funny when it's like the Mario 64 port lol. The reverse engineered version is way better.
