August 12: More than three years after it originally came to Nintendo Switch, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition now seems to have a full physical release on the system.
It’s true that there was a boxed version previously. However, with the original physical release, a download was required. Vice City essentially wasn’t on the cartridge – you could land on the startup screen, but after that, you’d get a notice telling you to download the game. There were also downloadable updates for Grand Theft Auto 3 and San Andreas.
