Criminal Activity
Rockstar Games hasannounced a release datefor the Nintendo Switch physical edition ofGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy — The Definitive Edition. Originally delayed from December due to the games’ poor release state, the cart-based edition of the classic crime sims will now arrive on February 11.
As a quick refresher,Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy — The Definitive Editioncontains remastered versions of three of the most legendary open-world games of all time:Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, andGrand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Initially launched on PC and consoles in November 2021, players were left stunned by thecompilation’s shoddy performance, with texture issues, game-breaking weather effects, and myriad visual glitches and background typos.
The Nintendo Switch edition was something else, however, and was rendered borderline unplayable.
Rockstar Games has since releasednumerous patchesforGTA Trilogy‘s various releases, but the general consensus among the community was that the ball was dropped on this release, with some players noting that unofficial fan-made remasters were ironically higher in quality than the official release. It can be assumed that this physical edition will be patched on installation, but that still might not be enough to provide a solid enough experience forGTAloyalists.
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy — The Definitive Editionlaunches physically on Nintendo Switch February 11. It is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms in digital and physical format. Before you consider dropping dollar onanyof these expensive releases, be sure to do your research.
