Late last year saw the release of GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, a re-release and remaster of the franchise's first 3D outings. Alongside the confirmation of this remaster was the announcement of a mobile release of this latest ‘Definitive Edition’. Originally intended to launch in the first half of 2022, the game has seemingly been pushed back.

When Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition was first confirmed to be coming to mobile devices, it was accompanied with a release window of sometime in the first half of 2022. Now, as part of Take-Two’s most recent fiscal earnings report (and reported by VGC), it was revealed that the game has instead now been scheduled to release by the end of the new fiscal year – aka the 31st of March 2023.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition was a mess when it first launched on consoles and PC, featuring many broken features, texture issues, performance problems and highly distracting visual glitches – to name a few. Over the months, all versions of the game have seen notable improvements, bringing the game up to a more acceptable standard of quality.

It is entirely possible that GTA Trilogy – Definitive Edition’s poor launch state on consoles is what prompted the delay on mobile. Regardless of the reason, hopefully the extra time allowed by the delay is used to ensure a smooth and solid mobile port.
