While not confirmed at time of writing, the games will potentially be released individually as well as part of a collection – San Andreas - The Definitive Edition will launch into Xbox Game Pass on November 11, while GTA 3 - The Definitive Edition will be added to PlayStation Now on December 7.Big-budget Hollywood movies may be dominated by superheroes these days, but that doesn't mean the studios are abandoning some of their tried and true genres.


PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of the games will display at 4K, with up to 60 FPS performance. The PC version will also support Nvidia DLSS. The Switch version of the game will include gyro aiming, as well as touchscreen support.

Rockstar has explained that all three games also feature quality-of-life improvements such as updated controls inspired by GTA 5, "improvements to targeting and lock-on aiming, updated Weapon and Radio Station Wheels, updated Mini-Maps with enhanced navigation allowing players to set waypoints to destinations, updated Achievements, Trophies, and more." You'll also be able to immediately restart a failed mission, cutting out major points of frustration from the originals. Rockstar says the games come with a "completely rebuilt lighting system improved shadows, weather, and reflections upgraded character and vehicle models along with new higher resolution textures across buildings, weapons, roads, interiors, and more." Draw distances have been improved, new foliage has been added, and surfaces have been smoothed. The trilogy is initially coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via the Rockstar Games Launcher. The three remasters included – GTA 3, GTA: Vice City, and GTA: San Andreas – have been created for modern platforms in Unreal Engine by Grove Street Games, which previously worked on the mobile ports for GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas, as well as the PS3 and 360 versions of the latter. The news comes alongside a first look at the updated versions of the three classic games. Rockstar has announced that Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition will be released digitally on November 11, with physical releases to follow on December 7.
