It hasn’t been a good year for PC gamers in terms of troubled game launches, with many releasing in unstable states that require a good few weeks before they actually become properly playable. The new update for the latest GTA remastered trilogy has just been released, and fixes a wealth of bugs for all 3 games that were criticized at launch.

There isn’t really anything major worth pointing out here, but this is the second major patch for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition after Rockstar said that the remastered trilogy “did not launch in a state that meets our own standards of quality,” following up with an official apology to fans later on.

So with that said, here are the official update notes for Patch 1.03 in Grand Theft Auto The Trilogy The Definitive Edition…

This really just should have been like $15 for the trilogy, and a free update for current owners.

There is no fixing this scamming abomination lol... This should have been a proper remake with a "modern" engine (its not like they care anyway).


Just play the original (there are some good mods that make it even better).

There's no fixing this one.


They should've just overhauled the originals and make sure they run on modern systems. The graphics were still fine for a retro gaming experience.

Purportedly there are mods for the OG games that look a lot better than the "Definitive" edition

They should have remade them properly, with at least GTA V gameplay and with similar, but different maps, some new missions, etc, etc. Instead of a 1:1 remake on a different engine with better graphics.

So the definitive edition turns out to be quite the opposite....ambiguous, vague, and indefinite...huh, who would have known.
