Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy, The Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch bundles three landmark open world games from the PS2 era into one package, positioned against other remaster collections that trade nostalgia for modern convenience. It’s the go to way to play GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas on a handheld, with updated presentation and quality of life tweaks, while still keeping the original structure, missions and tone that made them cultural touchstones.
Who is this trilogy for?
Best suited to players who want a single purchase covering the series’ early 3D jump, or anyone who missed these entries first time around. On Switch, the appeal is dipping into story missions and side chaos in short sessions, then picking up where you left off on the sofa. Expect three distinct settings and eras, each with its own pace, radio stations and progression style.
- GTA III: the foundational Liberty City sandbox and mission formula.
- Vice City: neon crime drama with a stronger story focus.
- San Andreas: the broadest map and the deepest systems of the three.
