For months, rumors circulated that Rockstar Titles intended to remaster the PS2-era Grand Theft Auto games for contemporary systems in order to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Grand Theft Auto 3. Rockstar has now confirmed that the speculations are real, like Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition will be released for the majority of current gaming systems later this year.
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Definitive Edition will contain graphics enhancements as well as gameplay improvements, however specifics on what those changes would include have yet to be released. The most recent rumors indicate that the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Definitive Edition will be released in November, and while Rockstar hasn’t provided a specific date, if accurate, it implies that additional details will likely be revealed sooner rather than later.
Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will all be improved versions of the games. All three games have received tremendous critical praise and are widely regarded as among the most impactful video games ever created. Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Definitive Edition will be released later this year on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X, with a mobile version following in 2022.
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition should keep GTA fans entertained until the release of Grand Theft Auto 5, which is presently scheduled for March 2022. Grand Theft Auto 5 was supposed to be released in November for PS5 and Xbox Series X, however, it was delayed for unexplained reasons. In any event, the GTA 5 next-generation delay should offer Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition more breathing room.

Of course, Grand Theft Auto 6 is the other Grand Theft Auto project that fans are eager to learn more about. The creation of Grand Theft Auto 6 is a near certainty given the massive amount of money that Grand Theft Auto 5 has produced. Still, Rockstar Games has not provided any official information on the long-awaited GTA 6. For the time being, fans must settle for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition and the anticipated GTA 5 next-gen release.
