While many fans had understandably reserved expectations for Rockstar’s remasters given the disappointing efforts of the publisher’s recent ports of theclassicGTAgames to mobile and console platforms, the reveal trailer for the new collection has been met with major praise, as it appears to be one of the most extensive remaster projects the games industry has seen in recent memory.
This is wonderful news for fans wanting to experience what is often considered to be the best game in the entireGrand Theft Autoseries, but don’t want to buy the entire collection right away or are only interested in the one game. Furthermore, it has also been revealed that theDefinitive Editionreleases will feature 4K visuals at 60 frames-per-second on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 consoles, meaning that Series X and S owners will get to experience the best performing version ofSan Andreasever released on console. Unfortunately, it has not yet been revealed if PC users will receiveSan Andreason Game Pass, but given thatRed Dead Redemption 2andGTA 5were only available on console when they were on Game Pass, it seems unlikely.
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Editionwill launch on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on November 11th digitally, and December 7th physically.
