Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition Switch

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition

A rating for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition has just now surfaced. The game appeared in Korea’s classification database earlier today.

Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City, and San Andreas remasters were rumored just over a month ago. Based on a Kotaku report, the games have been redone primarily by Rockstar Dundee in Unreal Engine and will feature a mix of “new and old graphics”. The titles will supposedly have updated UI but will hold on to the same classic style. The goal is ultimate to stay true to the PS2-era GTA games as much as possible.

Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Switch has yet to receive any sort of Grand Theft Auto game. Based on a new report from Kotaku, however, that may change before the end of the year.

The site is reporting that Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas are all bound for Switch. The full set will apparently release this fall as remasters.

Here’s some additional information from the report:

It seems L.A Noire on the Switch has received an update. But it isn’t just any update– users are reporting that the entire game had to be redownloaded, and the file size went from 14GB to 19GB. There are currently people investigating for changes, and we’ll keep you updated as they inevitably make themselves known.

One of the new games that entered the UK charts this past week was L.A. Noire. In terms of individual formats, the Switch version came in at #36. It was also #6 on the Switch-specific chart.

Additional data reveals the sales split for all versions of L.A. Noire. On Switch, 20% of all copies were sold. PS4 took the top share with 51%, followed by Xbox One with 26%.

What can we make of these numbers? Well, Switch wasn’t terribly behind Xbox One’s share. With a lower installed base, perhaps it’s not a terrible debut.

Digital Foundry has taken an extensive look at the Switch version of L.A. Noire. The game is analyzed from a technical perspective on Nintendo’s console, is compared to other systems, given the frame rate test, and more. The initial verdict is that there are improvements from the last-gen version, but also some drawbacks.

Rockstar revisited L.A. Noire, one of its older releases, with a new version this week. Among other platforms, the game came to Switch. Get a look at how it compares to the game running on the PS3, PS4, and PS4 Pro below.
