Summary
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Editionis now playable on iOS and Android devices for those with Netflix subscriptions. The collection features revamped versions of three classicGrand Theft Autogames. The trio of games can also be purchased separately for mobile users without a Netflix subscription.
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Editionwas originally released in 2021 on consoles and PC, and was widelycriticized byGrand Theft Autofansfor its low quality at launch. The game’s multitude of problems, ranging from bizarre visual bugs to game-breaking technical issues, led to its mobile release getting pushed back to December 2023. This time around, fans are hoping for a much smoother release from Rockstar.
Some fans who have already jumped into the new mobile version ofGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Editionare reporting that the game looks significantly better than its original release, mostly thanks to the new lighting mode. This likely comes as a relief toGrand Theft Autofans who were hoping to avoid another disastrous situation like theGrand Theft Autocollection’s last bug-filled launch.
Despite its controversial launch, Rockstar’s parent company, Take-Two Interactive, revealed that its 2021 release was quite successful,selling over ten million copies ofGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition. This highlights the impressive brand power of theGrand Theft Autofranchise, as releases as bad as that one may have permanently damaged less popular franchises, and almost certainly wouldn’t have sold as well.
A successful launch for the mobile version ofGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Editionwill probably build up hype even further for the highly anticipatedGrand Theft Auto 6. Although it’s unknown when another trailer for the game will be released,Grand Theft Autofans have done their best to predict when that daywill come.Grand Theft Auto 6doesn’t release until 2025, so fans will need to entertain themselves until its release.
