Each game in the GTA Trilogy - GTA 3, GTA: Vice City, and GTA: San Andreas - will also be getting a range of unique fixes with everything from improved resolution, UI fixes, and even adjustments to character models. Perhaps the most welcome fix though is the fact that Rockstar is reintroducing the "cloud cover at high altitude," rectifying the GTA Trilogy San Andreas fog controversy.

Unfortunately for fans of the original GTA Trilogy, the definitive edition collection has had a rocky start after releasing earlier this month. The games were shipping with countless bugs - which has been made even more apparent following today’s update patch - it got so bad that Rockstar had to make an apology for the state of the GTA Trilogy.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
