Rockstar Releases Statement Regarding Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Release

Better late than never, and that is Rockstar Games released yesterday afternoon a press release linked to the disastrous premiere of the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy, and this implies a reaction time of just over a week to officially address the problem. This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, and it is that while PC players were unable to enter the game for practically the first two days, the only response from the company had been three tweets without any valuable information.

The content of the press release, as well as the expected one, that the game should not have been released and that it will be solved with the release of patches. Just today, the PlayStation and Xbox consoles received version 1.02 with more than 60 arrangements all types.

Hi everyone,

We want to inform you of unexpected technical problems that have arisen on the occasion of the launch of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition.

First of all, we want to sincerely apologize to everyone who has had trouble playing these games.

The Grand Theft Auto series – and the games that make up this iconic trilogy – are as special to us as we know they are to fans around the world. The updated versions of these classic games were not released in a state that met our own quality standards, or the standards our fans have come to expect.

We have plans to fix technical problems and improve each game in the future. With each planned update, the games will reach the level of quality they deserve.

A new title update is planned for all versions of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition in the coming days that will address a number of issues. We will inform everyone as soon as it is available.

In the meantime, it pains us to mention that we are hearing reports from development team members being harassed on social media. We ask our community to maintain a respectful and civil discourse around this release as we resolve these issues.

While one of the goals of the definitive editions was to allow players to enjoy these games on modern platforms for many years to come, we also understand that some of you may still want to keep the older classic versions available for purchase.

The classic PC versions of Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will be added to the Rockstar Store shortly in bundle form. 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. We will update everyone as soon as they are back in the Rockstar Store.

Once again, we would like to thank everyone for your patience and understanding as we work through these updates to ensure that these games meet everyone’s justifiable high standards.

Sincerely,
Rockstar Games
