GTA Trilogy Patch Notes Include Fixes For More Than 100 Bugs

February 28, 2022

A new update is out now for GTA : The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, bringing the game up to version 1.04 and containing more than 100 fixes. Across the all three games in the collection, players can look forward to improved performance, fixes for collision issues, and improvements for texture art, Rockstar said in the official patch notes.

In terms of game-specific updates, there are more than 100 in total, spread across GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas. In essence, each game–and the package overall–should be in a better state now.

This is just the latest massive update for The Definitive Edition, which had a very rocky launch in 2021. A previous update also addressed more than 100 issues. Despite the troubled start, The Definitive Edition is believed to have sold around 10 million copies and has been labeled a great success by management.

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick frankly acknowledged that the game had “some quality issues.”

“I think we were all a bit disappointed about the quality initially. We’re very grateful that most of those issues have been addressed. There’s more work to be done,” Zelnick said.

During an earnings call, Zelnick said Take-Two as a company has had “precious few quality lapses,” with The Trilogy being one of them. However, Zelnick said he believed this was an “isolated case.”

A physical version of The Definitive Edition came to Nintendo Switch on February 11, while an edition for iOS and Android is scheduled to arrive in the first half of 2022.

A previous report said Rockstar might release a remaster of Red Dead Redemption if The Trilogy performed well. Whether or not that happens remains to be seen, however.
