GTA III turned twenty on October 22, 2021, and the trilogy was Rockstar's anniversary tribute.

Performance and where to play

  • 4K and up to 60 FPS on PS5 and Xbox Series X.
  • San Andreas on Xbox Game Pass from day one.
  • GTA III on PlayStation Now from December 7.
  • iOS and Android: planned for the first half of 2022.

How it went

It was one of Rockstar's most criticized launches: visual glitches, performance problems, and a Rockstar Games Launcher outage in the first days. Eleven days later, the studio apologized and shipped the first patch.

Updates gradually improved the trilogy, and it reached more stores: Steam and the Epic Games Store in early 2023, then Netflix on iOS and Android that December.
