Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition was released on Nintendo Switch and other major platforms last week, but fans aren’t too pleased with the remasters. The collection includes Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, featuring “enhanced” visuals, modern controls, and some quality-of-life features. However, the Nintendo Switch version of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy in particular has terrible technical performance problems, often struggling to maintain a steady frame rate. That being said, other platforms are also experiencing their fair share of issues, with the PC version actually being delisted due to the inclusion of copyrighted music in the game’s code.
Technical problems extend beyond things like frame rate in Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy, as fans have been noticing spelling mistakes, problems with the game’s draw distance, and a plethora of visual bugs. This has obviously resulted in numerous cases of consumers demanding refunds, which is becoming a trending topic surrounding this game on social media platforms. Thomas Williamson, the CEO of Grove Street Games, has casually promised that updates are in the works on Twitter, but fans aren’t too happy with his statement.
Dude, really?
Damn bro, all the community agree that the environments in the game are awesome, serious, but the character models are total shit.
The gameplay is the same from 2004, the sound effects and stuff, even the opening of the game is from the original version. pic.twitter.com/cXOVMH46Gz— tankador do bostil (@PDuds21) November 13, 2021

I used to love just chilling out on top of Mount Chiliad in GTA SA. The fog, haze and clouds made it feel like the game world was massive
Here in the remaster there's no fog, no clouds, you can see the edge of the map and CJ clips through the ground
