But ahead of the launch, it’ll begin removing existing versions of each title from digital storefronts next week. Rockstar says that it will announce more about the collection of games in the coming weeks.
Grand Theft Auto V was launched eight years ago and it might feel weird to play a Grand Theft Auto game that doesn’t let you swap between protagonists, but the adventures of Claude, the silent protagonist in GTA III Tommy Vercetti in Vice City and CJ in San Andreas are still worth a shot. But it said that each of the games has got“across-the-board upgrades including graphical improvements and modern gameplay enhancements.” The company chose to take the faithful route for its remasters, leaving “the classic look and feel of the originals” how they were presented on PS2. The Verge reports that Rockstar Games hasn’t explicitly mentioned what kind of technical improvements were made, nor has it shared any footage yet.
The pricing and release date hasn’t been shared officially yet. It will come to iOS and Android in the first half of 2022. The collection will be coming to PC (via the Rockstar Games Launcher), PlayStation, Xbox and the Nintendo Switch will also host them. They’ll be released in a package called Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition. Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City, and San Andreas are each getting HD remasters.
