Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is going to be added to the Netflix library of games, the streaming company has confirmed. From December 14th, Netflix subscribers will be able to play Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition on mobile devices, getting access to Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas.
The release of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition will be lining up alongside the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, which is confirmed to be coming in December too. While each of the three games in the collection are iconic, this package was met with major derision and disappointment, leading to Rockstar issuing an apology, where the company said, “The Grand Theft Auto series — and the games that make up this iconic trilogy — are as special to us as we know they are to fans around the world. The updated versions of these classic games did not launch in a state that meets our own standards of quality, or the standards our fans have come to expect.”
Of course, all eyes will be on Grand Theft Auto VI now, the first new Grand Theft Auto game in over a decade. Development on GTA 6 suffered a blow when a hacker stole over 90 from Rockstar Games’ internal communication networks. They confirmed that the game will take players to a modern Vice City, that there will be a series first female protagonist, alongside at least one other, and showed some NPC interactions, strip clubs and more. As part of an investigations supported by the UK’s National Cyber Crime Unite, the City of London Police confirmed the arrest of a 17-year-old from Oxfordshire a week after the hack. US-based reporter Matthew Keys added to the initial report to say that this was indeed an arrest of the suspected hacker behind the GTA 6 leak and Uber hack, and has come in collaboration with the FBI. In the end a London Jury found that 18-year-old Arion Kurtaj released the leaked gameplay videos of Grand Theft Auto VI having previously threatened Rockstar Games with the leak. In a rather British twist he released the videos from a Travelodge hotel.
