Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition launches tomorrow, and we already have a pretty good idea of how Rockstar is enhancing GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas. However, the publisher shared more specifics on the changes made to its classic sandbox titles.
We know the games look sharper than ever thanks to higher resolution textures, rebuilt lighting, an increased draw distance, among other perks. Rockstar revealed that PS5 and Xbox Series X/S players also benefit from a 4K resolution/60 fps performance.
As previously revealed, the controls have been revamped to match Grand Theft Auto V’s. Shooting and targeting have been improved, including better drive-by controls for San Andreas specifically. You can also now immediately restart failed missions instead of being kicked to the overworld. An updated weapon wheel has been added for quick switching during firefights, which Rockstar shared an image of below.
Radio stations have a similar selection wheel as well. Speaking of the music, Rockstar says the radio station listings are unchanged from the most recently available versions of the game. That means the vast majority of the tracks – 200 songs across 29 stations – remain intact, and the audio quality has been upped to 16bit 44hrz for all source music. Each game supports 5.1 surround sound as well.
Certain songs, from Vice City and San Andreas specifically, won’t appear due to expiring licenses. Many of these songs haven’t reappeared since the earliest re-releases of those games years ago, so these exclusions aren’t entirely new. Rockstar shared the complete radio station tracklist for The Trilogy, and after cross-referencing it with the soundtracks from the original releases, we’ve listed the cut songs below. Once again, if you don’t see your favorite song below, that means it’s still in the game.
