Rockstar Games has for the Nintendo Switch physical edition of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy — The Definitive Edition. Originally delayed from December due to the games’ poor release state, the cart-based edition of the classic crime sims will now arrive on February 11.

As a quick refresher, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy — The Definitive Edition contains remastered versions of three of the most legendary open-world games of all time: Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Initially launched on PC and consoles in November 2021, players were left stunned by the compilation’s shoddy performance, with texture issues, game-breaking weat🅰her effects, and myriad visual glitches and background typos.

The Nintendo Switch edition was something else, however, and was rende𝕴red borderline unplaya✤ble.

Rockstar Games has since released numerous patches for GTA Trilogy‘s various releases, but the general consensus among the community was that the ball was dropped on this release, with some players noting that unofficial fan-made remasters were ironically higher in quality than the official release. It can be assumed that this physical edition will be patched on installation, but that still might not be enough to provide a solid enough experience for GTA loyalists.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy — The Definitive Edition launches physically on Nintendo Switch February 11. It is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms in digital and physical format. Before you consider dropping dollar on any of these expe𓆉nsive releases, be s🐷ure to do your research.
