The latest Patch 1.007 for GTA The Trilogy: The Definitive Edition introduces notable improvements for the PC and console versions, drawing from visual upgrades initially introduced in the mobile edition. One of the key gameplay changes in this update allows players to simultaneously run and shoot with shotguns, assault rifles, and flamethrowers in GTA III and Vice City, a feature previously absent from both the classic versions and earlier Definitive Edition patches. This update also addresses long-standing issues with aiming and running animations across all weapons in these games, refining a feature that many players found problematic.
In addition to gameplay improvements, Patch 1.007 reintroduces various visual elements from the original games, including ambient and volumetric clouds that enhance the sky visuals, albeit with a slightly less dense effect in San Andreas. The update also resolves lighting inconsistencies, specifically in desert areas, ensuring each region retains its unique atmosphere. Classic lighting options and ambient effects are now available, providing a visual upgrade for the PC version, with console availability to be confirmed. Additional details on the patch are expected in Rockstar’s official notes.
