The GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition’s biggest and most important update released last week and it has had an effect on bringing people back to playing the games.
The remasters had a lot of fans excited to check them out when they released 3 years ago. However, the state they launched in was a disaster. Many fans asked for refunds and others who could not get one quickly stopped playing. A large portion even stopped caring about any potential updates.
Despite that, Video Game Deluxe have taken over the project and fixed hundreds of issues from the most glaring to minute detail. The big update arrived as a surprise and it certainly has made many GTA fans pleased.
