Ah shit, here we go again.

Rockstar Games has officially announced the release date of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy — The Definitive Edition, a revival of its first three 3D Grand Theft Auto games (GTA III, San Andreas, and Vice City) that remasters them with "GTA V-inspired modern controls" and "across-the-board visual enhancements."

The collection is set to launch digitally on Nov. 11 for PlayStation 5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC — physical copies will arrive later on Dec. 7 — and you can preorder(opens in a new tab) it now at several major retailers for $59.99. (Kind of pricey considering these titles are almost of legal drinking age, but also pretty reasonable considering the massive scope of their worlds.)

Note that Rockstar yoinked(opens in a new tab) all existing/singular versions of the games from digital stores in mid-October, so this will be their final form from here on out.

If you check your expectations for Red Dead Redemption II-style graphics at the door, you'll probably be pleasantly surprised by the design tweaks Rockstar's made to the iconic trio of early-2000s action-adventure titles. (Mashable's Adam Rosenberg described the vibes as "late '90s computer-animated kids' cartoon," which feels spot-on.) Most impressive are the lighting and texture updates to its sprawling cities and sceneries — Liberty City, Vice City, and San Andreas have never looked better.

At the time of writing, you could reserve a digital copy of GTA: The Trilogy for $59.99 via the Playstation Store(opens in a new tab) , the Microsoft Store(opens in a new tab) , the Nintendo eShop(opens in a new tab) , or the Rockstar Store(opens in a new tab) ; physical copies were also up for grabs at Amazon(opens in a new tab) and Best Buy(opens in a new tab) .

Nobody's put it on sale quite yet, though Rockstar itself will give you $10 off a future purchase of $15 or more if you buy the bundle from it directly.
