Rockstar Games has finally announced GTA The Trilogy Definitive Edition.

On October 8, 2021, Rockstar Games discussed what fans could expect from GTA The Trilogy Definitive Edition. There was a brief teaser featuring old official art. However, it's what Rockstar Games promises that is more interesting to dissect.

It's nearly the 20th anniversary of GTA 3. This single game forever revolutionized the GTA series and made it the iconic franchise that gamers could recognize. It's impossible to overstate how important this game was to Rockstar Games. Now, fans will get the chance to play an improved version of not only GTA 3 but GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas as well.
