Rockstar Games has surprised fans with a new update for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, nearly two years after the last update. The patch notes were minimal, but the update itself is substantial, adding new features and tweaks to improve the overall gaming experience.
One of the most notable changes is the introduction of “Classic Lighting,” which replaces the realistic lighting style with a more nostalgic, original Xbox and PS2-inspired look. This change has been well-received by fans, making the games look better than ever before. The update also addresses various visual bugs, including those affecting cloud and fog effects, resulting in a more realistic world.
However, not all changes are universally positive. Some fans have expressed frustration with the new lighting style, feeling it makes the game’s visuals too orange. Additionally, some minor issues remain, such as visual collision bugs.
The update is available on Xbox Series X, where it runs smoothly at 60FPS in “Performance” mode. But is it worth buying, especially at the discounted price of £21.99 / $23.99? We want to hear from you. Share your opinions in the comments and polls below.
As a bonus, Grand Theft Auto Trilogy is also included as part of the GTA+ subscription service on Xbox, offering an affordable way to try before you buy.
