The recent launch of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is, by far, one of the most problematic launches of 2021. This new remaster of the original GTA trilogy shouldn't have been any challenge for a seasoned developer like Rockstar Games, but the sheer amount of visual, gameplay and crashing bugs in the compilation somehow reminisces of Cyberpunk 2077 and its awful performance at launch last year. There is a big difference between both games, though. Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is just a trio of old games with renewed graphics and not an ambitious project like CD Projekt Red's game.
Rockstar Games apologized for the state of the game at launch, and it has been working hard to fix all the problems in Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition.
"The updated versions of these classic games did not launch in a state that meets our own standards of quality, or the standards our fans have come to expect. We have ongoing plans to address the technical issues and to improve each game going forward. With each planned update, the games will reach the level of quality that they deserve to be."
The latest Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition game update fixes quite a few bugs, but it seems that there is still a lot of work to be done. This situation is also affecting the upcoming physical launch of the compilation, which has been delayed. This news may not come as a surprise for all the fans of the series that have been following the news about the game.
The release dates for the physical versions of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition have changed.
