Rockstar Is Bringing Back Original PC Versions Of GTA Trilogy

A week after Rockstar Games released Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, the company is returning the original versions of those games to PC.

In preparation of the new editions, PC versions were taken off digital stores. However, poor reception from consumers has spurred Rockstar to make the originals available through the Rockstar Store.

The developer made the announcement via its website that the updated version of the classic game did not launch according to their standards or those of the fans. The Rockstar Store has taken good care of all PC owners who purchased the remastered remaster. Rockstar says, “We will be adding the classic PC versions of Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas back to the Rockstar Store shortly as a bundle. Additionally, everyone who has purchased Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition for PC from the Rockstar Store through June 30, 2022, will receive these classic versions in their Rockstar Games Launcher library at no additional cost.”

While this make-good takes care of specific PC gamers, there’s no word on those who own the package on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, or other PC storefronts. Rockstar does say it’s committed to fixing the issues with GTA: The Trilogy stating, “We have ongoing plans to address the technical issues and to improve each game going forward,” and, “A new Title Update is on the way in the coming days for all versions of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition that will address a number of issues.”
