Trouble for the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition continues to arrive, as developers Rockstar announced today that physical copies of the trilogy are delayed. The physical release will now take place on December 17 for Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. Physical copies of the collection on Nintendo Switch have also been delayed to sometime in 2022.
Interestingly, no mention of the trilogy physically releasing on PlayStation 5. The collection has already been released digitally on most platforms, but the collection had issues from the start. Players have complained that they encountered choppy framerates, incomplete graphics, and several bugs in the GTA Trilogy.

Rockstar has since attempted to address these issues through updates and public apologies. However, fans and critics continue to criticize the company for releasing the game in such an incomplete state.
The GTA: Trilogy contained remastered versions of the three classic GTA games originally released on PS2: Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City and San Andreas. All three original versions of the game were removed from the Rockstar Store for PC when the Trilogy Collection was released, but they were quickly brought back when the Trilogy controversy erupted.
