Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas reportedly the most successful of the three GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition titles

Netflix’s GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition was released on December 14, 2023, and included the following three 3D Universe remastered titles: Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, and San Andreas. According to mobilgamer.biz, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is the most successful title of the three.

The website's report shared the following details about the titles:

1. San Andreas is the most popular game across Android and iOS devices, with over 11.6 million downloads. While the iOS version was downloaded over 9.1 million times, the Android version has over 2.6 million downloads.
2. Vice City holds the second position with over 4.1 million downloads. Within that, over 3.1 million are iOS users, and around 900,000 are Android users.
3. Grand Theft Auto 3 also has around 2.4 million downloads, where around 1.7 million are from iOS and around 700,000 are from Android.

Although the above figures indicate that the GTA Trilogy on Netflix is more popular among iOS users, many Android users have complained that the title is “not compatible” with their devices. This is happening with both high-end and budget Android users, and a definitive solution is still awaited.

On the other hand, PC and console users are still waiting for Rockstar Games to address various issues in the title, especially the Classic Lighting Mode, which was introduced in the Netflix version of the game.

Ironically, the game had a rough beginning on the major platforms, and the same is still prevalent with the Android’s incompatibility issue. Nonetheless, GTA Trilogy Netflix Edition is one of the best mobile games you can technically play for free.
