In this segment of the video, it is revealed that the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is still not fully fixed two years after its problematic release, despite numerous patch updates. Significant game-breaking bugs have been addressed, such as invincible enemies and mission issues specific to GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas. However, the overall stability and playability remain inconsistent across users, with persistent issues like texture pop-ins and collision detection faults. The last meaningful patch (1.04) was rolled out in February 2022, introducing various fixes, but subsequent updates like version 1.4.5 have been minor, and the development seems to have been abandoned by Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive since October 2022.

Rockstar did apologize for the issues shortly after release and promised ongoing improvements. However, by late 2022, they had removed Grove Street Games from the project. Despite being playable and sometimes visually appealing, especially Vice City, several bugs and glitches persist as of February 2023. Problems include disappearing street lights, lack of fog in San Andreas, and persistent visual issues like strange water effects and dark, hard-to-see cut scenes. The speaker questions Rockstar’s commitment to fixing these issues, noting that famous games deserve better quality.
