Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Physical Editions Have Been Delayed

Rockstar Games has announced that the physical editions of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition have been delayed.

Sharing in a new tweet yesterday, the developer shared the PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S versions of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy will now release on December 17, while the Nintendo Switch version of the game will launch sometime during early 2022. All physical editions were scheduled for a December 7 release date.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition launched digitally on November 11 for Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S and includes Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The collection also features updated graphics and GTA V-style controls and camera tracking.

Following the launch of The Trilogy, players have been reported bugs and gameplay glitches while playing the game, along with some issues to do with character models and vehicles. Rockstar recently released a statement apologizing for the ongoing issues with GTA: The Trilogy, saying that further updates are coming that will improve the game.

"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," the developer said.

The latest update was released yesterday and featured more than 100 fixes across all three games, including stability improvements, an improved look of the rain, and numerous spelling error corrections.
