In honor of the twentieth anniversary of Grand Theft Auto III the American publisher Rockstar Games announced the release of a collection of updated versions of the games in the series. In addition to GTA III the trilogy will include Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The three original games were released in the first half of the 2000s. They are among the top five best-selling games on PlayStation.
Rockstar Games said in the announcement that GTA III inspired a generation of open-world games, and later GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas cemented the series status as a cultural phenomenon.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition will be released on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Rockstar Star Launcher on PC. The collection will go on sale before the end of the year.
The company will remove older versions of the games from digital stores next week, and it also announced that Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition will arrive on Android and iOS in the first half of 2022.
