the game is due out on January 19th for PC
After a more elaborate launch in late 2021, GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition should hit PC in a few days.
[Mis à jour le 16 janvier 2023 à 12h14] Grand Theft Auto needs no introduction. The legend of simulation and action games has occupied the minds of fans and the press for more than two decades, and remains one of the main concerns of the video game industry in general. A status we owe to 5 episodes of undeniable quality, each celebrating its own console generation. That’s a good thing, because three of the franchise’s most popular games will be making their big debuts on PC in the coming days. Indeed, GTA Trilogy The Definitive Edition, a remaster of GTA 3, GTA Vice City, and GTA San Andreas, released on consoles in late 2021, should be coming to PC very soon. Information we owe to the respected video game review magazine insider-game.
According to Tom Henderson, API changes from Steam (save files) and Epic Games indicate that GTA The Trilogy Definitive Edition will be available on PC. next January 19. An extremely restrained release as always from Rockstar, which is more understandable when looking at the console release of this same trilogy, lacking technical ambition at the end of 2021 (really very weak remasters) and extremely criticized. the importance of the number of errors plaguing his game. You should also know that the game should be on a -50% promotion for the first week of its availability on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
We already know that GTA Trilogy the Definitive Edition will have enhanced graphics that can support 4K textures and benefit from Nvidia’s DLSS. Despite these impressive statistics, these games remain relatively old, and their graphics, even when reworked, retain a rather “cartoony” aspect. We didn’t expect very high configurations to be able to run GTA Trilogy on PC and Rockstar confirmed it:
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
- Operating system : Windows 10 64 bit
- Processor: Intel Core i5-6600K / AMD FX-6300
- RAM: 8 GB
- Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 2GB / AMD Radeon R9 280 3GB
- Free hard disk space: 45 GB
RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION
- Operating system : Windows 10 64 bit
- Processor: Intel Core i7-2700K / AMD Ryzen 5 2600
- RAM: 16 GB
- Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 4GB / AMD Radeon RX 570 4GB
- Free hard disk space: 45 GB
Rockstar is soft on PC gamers, offering three games that are quite accessible for even the most basic configurations. On the console, the American publisher shows the extent of its softness against hard drives. GTA The Trilogy The Definitive Edition can be installed depending on the game you want to play. Specifically, this means that the installation is split between three games, and you can choose which one you want to install. Good news for the overloaded hard drives of older consoles. According to some sources, GTA 3 should be around 5.5 Gb, GTA Vice City no more than 11 Gb and GTA San Andreas around 23 Gb.
Rockstar also announced the price of the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition, which will be available in physical and digital versions for €59.99. Quite a steep price tag for such venerable games, even though this bundle is three games in one. It’s also a tough topic for Rockstar, which has already been the subject of some ridicule from Internet users. Also a single price on all platforms (except Nintendo Switch, where the game sells for 50 euros), be it PC, Playstation, Xbox or Nintendo. The game is still available for purchase on the official Rockstar website and at select specialty retailers.
The remake of three cult GTA games could not underline next-gen consoles like the PS5. However, the latter has no physical edition. Therefore, it is now possible to reserve your copy to take advantage of the best conditions of the new graphics of this edition only on PS4. The Playstation 5 version is available for digital purchase via the PS Store and offers textures in 4K and 60fps without batting an eyelid.
Microsoft fans can also enjoy these three updated games. Whether you own an Xbox One, Series S or Series X, you can order your copy of GTA: The Trilogy Definitive Edition. Only one edition is available, but it works on both Xbox One and Xbox Series X. Since the Xbox Series S console is completely digital, you have to go through the official online store to download the game.
Surprise! GTA: The Trilogy The Definitive Edition is also available on the Nintendo Switch hybrid console. So you can enjoy three cult GTA games even when you’re on the go! This version is available at Fnac for a suggested retail price of €50.
