GTA Trilogy: The Definitive Edition was released in 2021, consisting of remastered versions Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. While it was well received, the trilogy had its fair share of bugs as well.

Rockstar Games has now released a new title update after almost eight months. In the past, the patches addressed many fixes to bugs and glitches. The game was riddled with various issues and would crash frequently.

This article will cover what's new in the title update, across the three games, and how to download it across all platforms.
