GTA Trilogy — or Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition if you've all the time in the world — released digitally on PlayStation 5 and PS4 in mid-November. Obviously, the game has been on a rough ride since then, with bugs, graphical issues, and more dealing a heavy blow to its reputation. A physical version of the game on PS4 was due to release soon, but Rockstar has now put a slight delay on this.
Announcing it on Twitter, the publisher says the PS4 physical edition will now release on 17th December:
That's a delay of only 10 days, but it's worth noting in case anybody was looking to pick it up next week. You'll have to wait just a tad longer to get your boxed copy. No reasoning for the small push back has been offered, and is likely just a logistical issue. There's the suggestion Rockstar wanted to put an improved version of the trilogy on discs, but the physical copies will have been in production for a while at this point.
Anyway, that's that. Are you planning on picking up the GTA Trilogy on disc? Let us know in the comments section below.

Have yourself a buggy little christmas...
Not until its fixed or cheap.
Did the same with Cyberpunk. £15 black Friday bargain.
So you have €60 coaster great.
Well if you buy this you can have yourself a white Christmas cos the in game rain is so absolutely shizenhousen it looks like snow 😂😂😂
@nicc83 £15? That ain't bad but I am in no rush to play it anyways atm
Despite its current state, I would have picked the GTA Trilogy up had they done a physical PS5 release, but no dice = no buy for me. I’ve probably dodged a bullet in any case.
Any interest of this game has been destroyed by poor first impressions, it'll be extremely hard for Rockstar to get everyone back on their side.
Anyone that buys this mess of a so-called definitive edition deserves to be much lighter in their wallet.
Hard Pass.
It might only be ready to play by the end of 2022
Don’t understand the lack of PS5 version. Rockstar have had a real fall from grace recently. Get sorting Bully and a complete RDR package and we can all be friends again. Some GTA6 news wouldn’t go a miss either
Will the physical copies include the mammoth patches and bug fixes or do the poor saps who buy this have to download a patch larger than the game itself to make it work?
Actually ‘fix’ a game before the physical version is released? In this day and age? ABSURD!!!
@nicc83
Cyberpunk is still not finished in my book. As long as the last big patches don't come out for these sorry aass games, I won't buy them
I legitimately want to know why there's a physical Series X version coming, but not a physical PS5. Like I genuinely want to know.
No PS5 physical = no purchase. Game is an absolute disaster in it’s current state anyway.
"Preorder now & enjoy the pre-patch bonus rain effects indoors"!!😋😂
@hypnotoad it can only ever be as much as £55 so not that light if you have a job
@Loftimus Job or not, bug free or not - 55 quid is a piss-take.
This game is turning into this year's cyberpunk. I wonder if its going to become a Christmas tradition as companies rush games out in time for the holidays.
@hypnotoad for 3 games? Thats £18.33 per game....
They need to sort the random ballers spawning from behind when in a turf war though. That really pissed me off.
I understand other companies trying to rush out their games but not Rockstar with their BILLIONS and BILLIONS of hard cash they have I was worried Microsoft would buy them but not anymore they sound the perfect fit now
guys, to anyone who's saying why isn't there a physical ps5 version? what would be the point of it? surely it wouldn't look better or play better than ps4 version even if it didn't have any bugs, and all ps4 games coming out right now have to be compatible with ps5 so having a separate ps5 version just doesn't make any sense imo
Was reading an article about how these games were actually made from the mobile versions of the game. They say this not just because they are absolutely horrible remasters with questionable at best detail but because they actually forgot to take out the mobile controls from the code! There’s screen caps taken by someone who activated the widget for the on screen pop up showing: select steering method and the on screen list of all the controls for that. It’s the same control scheme as on the mobile game (the touch control scheme). Makes sense why it’s so tacky now
@kingbreww the fact that Grove Street Games made them, and the fact they are made via unreal engine and not rockstars rage engine confirmed from the outset they were going to be reworked mobile ports.
Find it astounding that rockstar would bring this upon themselves, these games should be their cherished babies
Hoping it's 40. Other remasters I've bought were the same. But since the patch update, it's not a surprise
If they delayed it further once the future patches were included I might of eventually bought it. But don't see the point buying it on disc if it's in such a poor state.
No thanks, not interested in a lazy half-assed attempt of a remaster.
Not until it's $10 USD or free with Plus anyways.
