The beleaguered GTA collection returns to PC, allowing gamers to play or purchase the Trilogy once more.
Plagued from the outset with a number of meme-worthy bugs, glitches and performance issues, there’s no doubt that it’s been a messy launch for GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, with Rockstar even removing the game from sale on PC and taking down its Games Launcher. This, at least, has now been undone. The game publishing giant has revealed in an official tweet that the collection is once more available through its Rockstar Games Launcher, allowing those who have already purchased it to play the title, and those who haven’t to go ahead and buy it… if they dare. As revealed in an earlier tweet from Rockstar, the reason for the Games Launcher being down (and more specifically, why it occurred simultaneous to the launch of the Trilogy) was that its team needed to «remove files unintentionally included in these versions». While not explicitly stated by the developer, these files have been reported (as first covered by Video Games Chronicle) to include developer notes, music from the initial release of the game that the company no longer holds licensing for, as well as the controversial and sexually explicit Hot Coffee mini-game.
