The GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition has been available on Nintendo Switch as a physical copy since February 11, 2022. Already, after the latest update, players have noticed a few bugs that need fixing.
It is not uncommon for game updates to result in bugs that alter the gameplay or player's experience. Obviously, fans of GTA Online are quite familiar with this fact. Normally, developers will try their best to make the required patches and fixes as fast as they can.
This article will discuss the newest bug in the GTA Trilogy while playing on the Nintendo Switch.
New GTA Trilogy bugs on Switch after latest update
The above tweet came from @BadgerGoodger and is a clip highlighting a bug that has appeared in the GTA Vice City Definitive Edition while driving a motorcycle on the road and is certainly not the first bug found in the newly remastered Trilogy.
As shown in the video, a strange texture appears on the road surface that looks like some sort of mirage or reflection. When gamers reach the odd-looking texture, it seems to vanish, but reappears in the distance yet again. This is not a common feature in any of the games and was immediately noticed by players. The tweet has received some attention online, with commenters trying to talk about what exactly it could be.
One commenter was almost certain that the bug had something to do with a "ghosting effect" of Unreal Engine. The original poster joined in on the thread with hopes that there would be another patch soon to fix this strange occurrence in the game.
Unfortunately for Rockstar, this is not the first time players have found bugs in the Definitive Edition games. Since the release of the remastered GTA trilogy, many players have found all sorts of bugs and glitches in the games over the last few months. One of the most publicized bugs was the invisible bridge in GTA San Andreas, but there have been dozens of bizarre bugs to date.
The YouTube video above showcases some of the many glitches and bugs that have been seen in the the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition. While these bugs are generally tolerated more for their comedy value and fixed faster because of the impact caused on the game, many other smaller bugs go unfixed.
Like many others, the bug shown in the tweet is quite minor in comparison to others that hilariously throw cars across the map, for example. However, it is still something that affects the gaming experience and must be fixed by Rockstar as soon as possible.
