Rockstar Games releases same buggy version of GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition on Steam
As soon as the title went live on Steam, fans quickly rushed to see if Rockstar Games had made any improvements to the previously broken gameplay experience. However, to their dismay, the American gaming studio had offered no significant changes other than presenting some internal file number alterations.
As can be seen in the image below, the Steam release only received minor changes in three categories. Rockstar Games has added "Texture Updates," "Manifest Updates," and "Project Updates," the latter two of which basically build number changes for the game files.
The alterations are all technical, and readers should keep in mind that they are all minor modifications that could have been made through a simple update. Since the game was re-released, the community thought they would get something better than the original experience. The next section contains Twitter reactions from fans regarding the title's Steam version.
