Product Information

I think this makes sense on a Switch simply as a portable GTA trilogy, and the games look better on a handheld anyways. First to PC, then to PS4 and Xbox One and more recently to next-gen consoles in the form of the PS5 and Xbox Series S|X. Both maps have been recreated with almost all of the finer details intact, which makes driving through them and causing chaos just as thrilling as it was in the early 2000s.

What you’re getting from this collection isn’t so much a complete remaster, but a mix of old and new. This means that cars boast the same pop-in distance, old-school animations have been kept intact, and environments still appear “boxy”, for the lack of a better term.

So, we've made a very specific exception and asked PJ to redownload the trilogy to see how it compares to the GTA Switch ports he first played just over 18 months ago.GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas are still very much the same games we know and love, even down to framing of the slightly redone cutscenes and many of the songs you’ll hear on the radio.
