We finally know when Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is coming out, and it’s going to be on November 11. This is for the digital version buyable through the Rockstar Games Launcher, Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Store, and Microsoft Store. The physical edition, meanwhile, is set to be released on December 7.
The trilogy consists of Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The trilogy will be available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
The trilogy is a good way for new players to be introduced in the franchise. After all, these are the ones that started everything. From freedom and immersion to different features, rich cinematic storytelling, classic characters, and unforgettable music, the games got everything.
In addition, the trilogy also brings Liberty City, Vice City, and San Andreas to the modern platforms. It’s set to debut new GTA V -inspired modern controls along with visual enhancements like resolution upgrades and improved visual fidelity. These were done to improve all three games while preserving the original aesthetic.
This trilogy also offers wide-ranging modern control updates like improvements on the targeting and lock-on aiming. Players can also look forward to the updated Weapon and Radio Station Wheels. There’s also the updated Mini-Maps where players experience better navigation since they can set waypoints to their destinations.
That’s not all since all three titles received additional enhancements. The lighting system, for example, has been completely rebuilt. There are also improvements to the shadows, weather, and reflections. Character and vehicle models have been upgraded as well. Everyone can expect higher resolution textures on buildings, weapons, roads, and interiors. Even the environment has been upgraded with new foliage, smoother surfaces, and increased draw distances.
Of course, adapting the three games to modern platforms means they’re more vibrant and more immersive than ever.
