Following some leaks and rumours, Rockstar Games confirmed the release of the GTA trilogy – The Definitive Edition on Steam. The developer has also announced its arrival on the Epic Games Store as well. The creators stated in their newest Newswire on 19 January that the bundle will be available on the digital storefront later in January 2023.
Previously, the game could only be obtained via Rockstar Games’ official website, with no approved third-party sources. However, PC and Steam Deck users can now get it from a new retailer.
GTA Trilogy Releases on Steam and is Now Available on Steam Deck
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition came out on 11 November 2021, and replaced the original games of GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas on various platforms. However, Rockstar simply removed the original copies of its early 2000s GTA titles from Steam, making them unavailable for purchase. The only option to get Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy on PC was through Rockstar’s own website.
The remasters were widely panned at launch for a variety of technical issues, as well as “unintended” documents discovered within the game files such as unlicensed music and developer notes, leading to the PC version being briefly removed.
