After Kotaku was the first to tell you Rockstar was remastering the first three 3D Grand Theft Auto games, all manner of leaks and rumors have flown around until the developer finally officially confirmed their existence two weeks ago. Today, they’ve announced a release date—November 11 for the digital version—and an official price that’ll make your eyes water. And, at last, video footage comparing the originals to the remasters.
Rockstar’s official page for the games has just gone up, revealing that the trilogy of classic murder-fests—GTA III, GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas—will be yours in 20 days if you get a digital version. For physical editions on all formats, it’ll be December 6 in Europe, December 7 in the United States. Any of those versions will cost you a blistering $60 on PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and the Xboxes.
Of course, you’re getting three absolutely enormous games here, so $60 might not immediately seem so bad. It’s just that we’re talking games ranging from 17 to 20 years old. Which is to say, announcing the pre-orders with less than three weeks to go, and slapping on a premium price, is asking players to exercise a lot of faith.
However, we can finally see a short glimpse of how the three games will be looking, compared to the originals, in this just-released video:
The games’ site explains that the games have been remastered by Grove Street Games, the same Florida studio that ported the original versions across to mobile. They’ve always done a good job with those, but of course, no one’s hand a chance to play these yet, to get a feel for how they work, two decades later.
