The GTA Remastered Trilogy Appears To Be Real, And Coming To Switch

For the past year, rumors have swirled on Twitter, Reddit, and various message boards that Rockstar is working on remakes or remasters of classic, PS2-era Grand Theft Auto titles. These rumors only grew in popularity as Rockstar’s parent company, Take-Two Interactive, used DMCA takedowns to remove classic GTA mods from the internet while announcing that the publisher had three remastered games in development. While Kotaku can’t confirm what all of those teased remastered titles specifically are, we can confirm via corroborating details from three sources that GTA remasters are currently in the final stages of development.Kotaku has reached out to Rockstar about these remastered games and future GTA re-releases. But our sources have, so far, had reliable track records that have alerted us to updates in GTA Online and Red Dead Online weeks if not months in advance.


According to these sources, Rockstar is actively developing remastered versions of Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. All three of these games are being remastered using Unreal Engine and will be a mix of “new and old graphics.” One source who claims to have seen a snippet of the games in action said that the visuals reminded them of a heavily-modded version of a classic GTA title. The UI for the games are being updated too, but will retain the same classic style. No details were shared about gameplay, but Kotaku has been told these remastered titles are trying to stay true to the PS2-era GTA games as much as possible.

My favourite game of 1996. The Shambler is one of the scariest monsters I ever encountered in a video game.

Great. I've had the Steam version for years (bought on a sale), but haven't even installed it. Now it's a good time to do it!

Modern Vintage Gamer (youtuber) was a senior developer on the project for the last 18 months, he made a video about it.

Fortunately we can now train with bots before we jump into multiplayer or LAN play. It now has got depth of field, anti-aliasing, enhanced models, widescreen support, 4K support, original soundtrack and expansions included + a new one by Machinegames. I am all for improving good old games for modern machines.

The thing is, we are seeing lots of re-releases, remasters and remakes. Not a whole lot of fresh new ideas and innovation.

Indie devs are being more bold in game design more often than AAA devs. One thing is that whenever they try to change something, gamers cry that they prefer the old ways (look at the CoD series for example).

And if you look at Far Cry 5 you see a drop in physics sophistication compared to Far Cry 2. If you look at Cyberpunk 2077, you see AI being less convincing than in GTA 4 (or even older games).

The only given is graphical improvement.
