Rockstar's anticipated collection, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition, is now on the company's website for pre-order. The game is also now listed on the PS Store.
There has been much speculation about the price of the trilogy, but now we have the answer. Both the PlayStation 5 and PS4 versions of the game will set you back £54.99/$59.99 — a pretty penny for these remastered retro classics.
The release date has also been announced. The GTA Trilogy will launch digitally on all platforms 11th November 2021, which means it's only a couple of weeks away. If you want to wait for a physical version, that will come a little later, on 6th December.
We've been told about some pretty major changes, like high res textures, better draw distance, and improved, GTA 5-like controls. Fortunately, Rockstar has released a trailer and screenshots of the GTA Trilogy, so you can finally see what it looks like before you commit to a pre-order.
What do you think? Are you looking forward to playing these open world epics once again? Tell us in the comments section below.

Uh… can I see it before I pay for it?
Is it me or have they not shown off a single second of the remasters yet?
I'll stick with the originals. May be good games but they are not worth that price. That is ridiculous. And we have still seen NOTHING from them.
Hopefully they sell these separately down the line. I'd happily buy VC and SA for £20 each but I've no interest whatsoever in GTA3.
@Quintumply On the PS Store, the PS5 version is also up for pre-order for £54.99. I don’t know if the PS5 pre-order goes through with that price as I’m waiting for the Series X version instead.
Here is the link for the PS5 pre-order on the PlayStation Store https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/concept/10003543/
WAY too expensive for what's improved.
For that kinda money I want a full remake.
I feel the pricing is an insult, especially for Rockstar! Releasing a PS3 game of PS5, no word about GTA6, etc.
Plus, we haven't even seen any gameplay for the Trilogy DE!!
Just NO, Rockstar, it reeks of greed... lots of it.
I'll gladly wait until I think the price is fair!!
Edit:
@AgentMantis
Thanks for the link to the video!👍
After watching the video I still feel it's way overpriced. Rockstar is lazy!
I still remember that awesome fan creation of GTA: SA remake. That was incredible and, if done with all 3 games, worth that kinda money. No wonder Rockstar slashed these fan initiatives...
They knew the current effort on the Trilogy would make them look bad in comparison. Shame on you, Rockstar!!
Where is game screenshot..?
How about you first show the improvements...or anything really before asking for our money?

@MaccaMUFC Ah! I did look for PS Store listings but they weren't there when I checked. Thanks, I'll update the story.
Probably pass as ridiculous for a remaster of a ps2 games . Mebe worth 30-35 quid no more
should let upgrade the ones youve already bought at a lower price
I'm glad a physical version will be available. Day 1 purchase for PS5 & Switch!

OMG Still no footage....C'mon Rockstar get your act together jeez.
@Quintumply No problem, I’ve edited my last post by adding the link to the PS5 pre-order on the PlayStation Store.
Although I’m going to be pre-ordering this regardless of Rockstar showing gameplay before it releases, I agree with others saying we should see some gameplay to see how it looks and runs before taking our money immediately upon pre-ordering it.
Thanks, I will pass. Will play originals in the meantime.
Need to see actual gameplay and new visuals first before i would even think of preordering.
Pretty sure the previous versions on the store went for £24.99 (and as low as £14.99 when in sales). How on earth is this worth an extra £30?!
I'll wait for the physical edition, and when I can buy it from CeX with a voucher. F--- That Price!
Just to add to this. These games also releasing on Android and Apple app stores later next year. They will probably sell it for 3 times less than on consoles. Maybe better choice to install bluestacks and emulate it on PC. However, there is also 'fair price' policy in my books, where you can borrow it now and pay them the price once it is reasonable.
Jeeeez, that’s a lot. How about we actually see some footage first?
Video is up, it's better than I was expecting but I still have several doubts
https://www.rockstargames.com/GTATrilogy link for the video, it's not on the preorder page for some reason
Hey the trailer looks good, I think I'm in for the physical version
The trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D71cBUeAL58
@The_Pixel_King If the framerate and graphics are the same I think I'll buy this on switch since I can play it anywhere.
I’m sure @Quintumply is putting the gameplay trailer up as I type this. I’ve just watched it over on PureXbox and it is one mighty impressive remaster, all 3 games look absolutely fantastic.
Just watched the trailer, they look like Ps3 games. Unimpressive
They are clever,
1. Let’s put a high price tag on this to qonder why
2. Let’s not show anything (not even screenshots on the PS store) to increase even more the interest
3. Let’s give them a short period of time to cook the hype
4. Bombs away
I remember all the morning news programs being absolutely disgusted by GTA 3 when it first came out. Specifically the fact that you could pick up a street walker and beat them to death with a baseball bat in a side-alley. Like being able to do this in a videogame was the most shocking thing ever. How times change. Seems quite tame now when you look at the actual world we live in today 🤣
@kingbreww they do look better... but £65 better? I don’t know... I probably will get them eventually though, just for the nostalgia.
I need to know controls and I need to know how missions work. Track listing too. Then I’ll consider it.
@fR_eeBritney no question they are better I’m just saying compare them to GTA V on Ps3. They get absolutely smoked graphically and no doubt in playability too. It’s so bush league compared to games now it’s just like what’s the point? Memories? I’ll keep ‘em in the rear view where they belong 👌
Plus remakes, remasters and rereleases are why we don’t have a GTA 6 that was released years ago and them working on finishing GTA 7 at the moment. People may still enjoy them, but the trade off that is not having GTA 6 and GTA 7 coming out in a year or so is in no way worth it. That’s why personally I’ll never support this type of nonsense
Rockstar you scoundrels.
Wow I was thinking of picking these up as I love VC and San Andreas but at that price point I think I will wait, I think 35-40 and I would have probably got day one, now I think I will wait until around 20 or lower for the insult rockstar have really gone down in my books since 2013 we have had 2 games.
@AgentMantis THANK YOU for the video!
Honestly it's a better glow up that I expected, though a few things look a bit off on first glance. I'll we waiting for a sale anyway at that price but will no doubt replay these in due course.
Still hoping for the full unchanged soundtracks to be included. Music and radio banter in GTA was a large part of the joy. Especially VC.
I'll wait for the physical release and buy it when it's dropped in price, visually it looks like a decent job much better than I expected it would
@WizzNL
No, I didn't say that but that would justify such a steep price. 3 games fully remade from the ground up should be more expensive, obviously.
The lame effort for this Trilogy defo isn't worth what they're asking for.
Let's be real here, it just looks more crisp with updated controls.
It's mind boggling people are so easily convinced to pay such a price for what's being offered.
Juzst shame and disrespect with us players. Just that
i shall have this on steam xbox and ps5
love these games!
@WizzNL
Not at all!
"If you mean this... You should.." has nothing to do with what I said.
My point is crystal clear and I don't intend to drag this on any longer than necessary. I already properly explained myself to you and will leave it at that.
I wish you a good evening!
No PS5 physical release?
Rockstar website : Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition will be available digitally on November 11 through the PlayStation Store, the Microsoft Store on Xbox, Nintendo eShop, and the Rockstar Games Launcher, with a physical release for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4 on December 7.
I'm going to buy it, but I am concerned Vice City is going to be missing some, if not all, the licensed music, and that will hurt the experience a bit.
A day before SMT V means its a no from me for now.
I will buy this trilogy on PC, after all, PC is the best place to play.
That's what Jim Ryan wants, isn't it?
They should have remade San Andreas as a DLC story for GTA5. I think most of the locations are already on the GTA5 island already (and they could open that casino for single-player at last).
Day 1 physical for me. Or may see if Santa is feeling generous.
Ahh pick it up on Xmas sale, a high price for a few control changes and a living paint, greedy had it been 30 that would be perfect 10 per game 👍
@jasonk83 Looks like it sadly, unless that's an error. I'll just wait a few years for the PS4 version to be $25.
@Colour yeah just don't pay for it yet.
simple.
No physical version for PlayStation 5?
@jasonk83 @RichardUK This is what I'm looking for as well.
I want to get the PS5 physical disc but can't see any information anywhere.
EDIT: The internet seems as confused as myself. Rockstar's messaging has been very confusing and unclear.
