Fans were excited when Rockstar announced the remaster of the beloved game. But they were disappointed due to a lackluster final product with numerous bugs and flaws. Removing the original versions of the three games from online stores didn't sit well with the players either.
Rockstar Games later acknowledged that the state in which the remastered versions of the classic games were not up to their standard.
After the game's release on Steam, there was speculation of its release on the Epic Games Store in the near future. Almost a month later, it is now available on the online gaming store that gave away GTA 5 for free in 2020.
