It appears that GTA: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition will be receiving a patch on Steam in order to fix its glaring technical issues.
Rockstar Games may be working on a patch for GTA: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition, based on recent activity seen on the Steam Database. All three games included in this edition, Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, have been updated, though it’s unclear whether there are potential fixes for the game’s technical issues included in this update.
Previously, an indie game developer had a look at the game files for both Steam and Rockstar Launcher versions of GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, revealing that not much had changed and the game continued to suffer from technical issues.
The major patch that was supposed to have fixed a large number of the glaring technical issues with GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition hardly fixed any of said issues. Certain in-game objects that had been misplaced continues to remain as such, and the AI upscaled roads continue to look bugged in GTA 3, GTA Vice City, and GTA San Andreas.
The patch also led to new glitches that weren’t present in the game before, such as a bug where some parts of your car change color every time you open and close the garage door in San Andreas. Meanwhile, glitches from the original 2001 release of GTA 3 remain present in GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition post-patch.
As exciting it is to know that the game has arrived on Steam, Rockstar Games will need to significantly improve the state of the game as soon as possible. It will require a large list of new fixes and major improvements, or it risks getting many negative reviews from Steam users. Grand Theft Auto III has already received mixed reviews on Steam, and the developer is likely aware of this.
