The GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition came out last week, only for Rockstar Games to immediately take it down. Now the games are back up.
When the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition launched on Thursday, it was nearly unplayable on PC. Things were so bad that the entire Rockstar Game Launcher went down for maintenance. The launcher went back up on Friday but the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition was still unavailable for purchase. There was a lot of speculation as to why but it seems the issues stem from some inner-workings that should not have been part of this release.
“GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is unavailable to play or purchase as we remove files unintentionally included in these versions,” Rockstar said on Twitter. “We’re sorry for the disruption and hope to have correct ones up soon.”
Rockstar finally put the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition back up for sale on Sunday.
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is again available through the Rockstar Games Launcher for play and purchase. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and are working to improve and update overall performance as we move forward: https://t.co/hAfEKqYS3o

It’s safe to say that the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition isn’t garnering the reception that Rockstar was hoping for at all. Fans are still sharing hilarious bugs and glitches from the games. Not to mention certain features from the PS2 versions being missing aren’t winning people over. Take-Two is confident that Grand Theft Auto has the staying power of James Bond, though.
