They only seem to have done so by accident, but Rockstar Games has announced the release date for the GTA Trilogy remasters and it’s very soon.
The question of what will be the Christmas number one hasn’t been very interesting for years now, since it’s always just either FIFA or Call Of Duty. The only exception is for Rockstar games, and this year it’s looking very likely that it will be Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition.
The remaster collection – which includes PlayStation 2 era games GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas – had already been confirmed for release this year but it never had a specific date, but Rockstar’s own store now has it down as November 11.
Since there’s been no formal announcement it seems to have been put up early by accident, but there doesn’t seem to be any doubt about the game since it’s Rockstar’s own site. [Update: Rockstar has now made an official announcement, which we’ve detailed here, so looks like their store just jumped the gun.]
As previously rumoured, there will be physical editions but only for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Switch. They’ll be released on December 7 and if the rest of the rumour is correct that means the next gen versions will have to wait till next year.
Despite the lack of a big announcement the story page even has a countdown timer to the game’s digital launch, which will take place at 5pm GMT on November 11.
What are the GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition PC requirements?
Although it’ll be available at other retailers, if you choose to buy the game from Rockstar themselves you’ll also get a $10 voucher to use on any other Rockstar game that costs over $15. There are no UK prices though and the site implies it’ll just be a direct currency conversion, so around £7.
The site lists the PC minimum and recommend requirements but, as you’d expect for a remaster, they’re pretty low. The install size is a fairly hefty 45GB though.
