GTA 5 just sold another 5 million copies as GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition fails to stay relevant

May 17, 2022VG247

Who keeps buying Grand Theft Auto 5? We don’t know, but there’s enough of you to keep the numbers up for Take-Two. Only a few months ago, we heard that the Grand Theft Auto series overall continued to sell like hotcakes: as of February 2022, unit sales for the series topped 370 million, with the latest mainline release – GTA 5 – sales sitting pretty at over 160 million units. Has everyone forgotten about Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition? Fast-forward three months, and the game has – somehow – sold even more. During Take-Two Interactive’s conference…

GTA: San Andreas multiplayer mods continue to thrive in the age of GTA Online – but why?

April 25, 2022VG247

While GTA Online reigns supreme, massive communities of modders and PC players refuse to let San Andreas’ online modifications die. Before Rockstar Games’ official online take on Los Santos and its surroundings made a splash with GTA Online in 2013, many PC players had been bringing mayhem to San Andreas beforehand, thanks to modifications that were anything but short in ambition. Long-time GTA fans may remember – or still play – hugely successful mods such as San Andreas Multiplayer (SA-MP) and Multi Theft Auto (MTA). Somehow, after all these years and against all odds, they’re still going strong and reeling…

Remedy are remaking Max Payne 1 & 2

April 7, 2022RockPaperShotgun

Grab your dual Berettas and scrunch your face up real hard, because oh me oh my Remedy have announced they’re going to remake Max Payne and Max Payne 2. The remakes are still extremely early in development, so Remedy have little to say and even less to show, but all I need to know is: Max Payne, baby! Read more

GTA 6’s biggest problem isn’t living up to the hype, it’s the fact that parody is dead

February 21, 2022VG247

Can GTA’s brand of humour work in a world that’s beyond parody? VG247 looks into what could be Rockstar’s big new issue. “Actually, Grand Theft Auto is a clever satire of the American Dream” is the sort of toe-curlingly obvious declaration that tiresome pseuds like me used to come out with in the early 2000s, in order to assert the artistic merit of a game in which you could get a blowjob from a prostitute to replenish your health, then murder her to get your money back. We felt inclined to defend video games as a medium back then, as…

Grand Theft Auto units sales exceed 370 million, GTA 5 sales exceed 160 million units

February 8, 2022VG247

And GTA: The Trilogy made up 10 million of those units. The Grand Theft Auto franchise continues to be a lucrative property for Rockstar’s parent company Take-Two Interactive. According to the company’s Q3 2022 financial report, the series has now moved over 370 million copies worldwide, which is up 15 million from the last reported figure. The company said that Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition was one of the contributing factors leading to the better than expected quarter, and while sales of the title weren’t provided, it is estimated the offering has moved millions of copies,…

Work on a new Grand Theft Auto “is well underway”, Rockstar say

February 4, 2022RockPaperShotgun

Eight years after the launch of Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar Games have finally confirmed yes, they really are making a new GTA. For eight years they’ve focused on adding new content to the MMO-y GTA Online mode, which seems a licence to print money by selling in-game cash for real cash. This has made some fans ornery, wondering if they’ll just keep on plugging away at GTAO forever, especially with GTAV coming to next-gen consoles this year. But no, really, Rockstar say they really have been making a new one. Read more

Rockstar offers olive branch for PC GTA Definitive edition owners with free game

December 21, 2021VG247

If you click on a link and make a purchase we may receive a small commission. Read our editorial policy. PC players can redeem an extra game for free until January 5 2022. No matter how you measure it, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition hasn’t had the most successful launch. Marred by a myriad of technical issues and sporting a controversial art style, it’s a release that left both players and critics alike fairly lukewarm. Now, however, Rockstar is hoping a free game will right that wrong. The PC version in particular stoked fans ire, with…

The devs have another freebie for those folks too now – you can claim a free copy of GTA V: Premium Edition, GTA IV: Complete Edition, LA Noire, Bully: Scholarship Edition, or Max Payne 3 over the holiday period.

Rockstar are selling GTA Trilogy Def Ed again, but should bring back the originals

November 15, 2021RockPaperShotgun

After pulling Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition‘s PC edition from sale soon after its Thursday launch, Rockstar returned it to their store overnight. The remastered collection of GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas looks a right mess but apparently the reason for its vanishing was they had accidentally left in files they shouldn’t have, which include songs that weren’t meant to be in the game. Well, it’s back on sale now, and it still looks a mess. Hey Rockstar, maybe now consider putting the original versions back on sale too. Read more

Rockstar release remastered Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, and San Andreas

November 11, 2021RockPaperShotgun

A trio of vintage crimeworlds returned rebuilt today with the launch of the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, bundling GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas into one collection with an long overly name. They look fancier and more modern (the originals being from 2001, 2002, and 2004, respectively), and have control schemes which are less damn old. Unfortunately, they have also cut some of my favourite songs from the radio, boooo. Read more

Ahead of the launch of the trilogy of remastered GTA games, Rockstar has shared which tracks will – and won’t – be featured in-game. GTA: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition is out today, and just before we all step back into Liberty City, Vice City or San Andreas, Rockstar has furnished us with a complete list of all the songs that will be in the compilation of the classic sandbox games. From the off, it’s worth noting that there will be some notable omissions. Some artists – likely those who’s licenses are tied up in rights issues – won’t be returning…
