The new release date for physical copies of the GTA Trilogy plus more information on the recent update
While significant, the patch notes aren't the only thing worth noting. Rockstar Games recently announced on Twitter that physical copies for the game had been delayed. Originally, Rockstar Games stated:
"Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition will be available digitally on November 11 through the PlayStation Store, the Microsoft Store on Xbox, Nintendo eShop, and the Rockstar Games Launcher, with a physical release for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4 on December 7."
The above Tweet indicates that is no longer the case. Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PS4 gamers can now get a physical copy on December 17, 2021 (rather than December 7, 2021).
Nintendo Switch players will have to wait even longer, as the system's new physical release date is sometime in early 2022. It's a vague date, so they'll have to be patient for more news on that front.
Although the delayed physical release date might disappoint some fans, the above Reddit post showcases how lengthy some of these recent fixes were. It essentially displays a picture of the recent GTA Trilogy patch notes.
Rockstar Games hasn't stated that this is the last update for the GTA Trilogy, so fans can still expect more to be fixed in the future.
