Rockstar Officially Announces GTA Remaster Trilogy

The collection will also launch on iOS and Android devices in 2022.

Rockstar made the announcement on Twitter with a brief trailer, but followed up with a statement on Rockstar Newswire.

While Rockstar mentioned no specifics about what's new in each enhanced version, the publisher did say they feature "across-the-board upgrades including graphical improvements and modern gameplay enhancements."

The release coincides with the original Grand Theft Auto's 20th anniversary, and Rockstar said it plans to celebrate that further in GTA Online with clothing, livery, and more. GTA Online is also getting its first standalone release in November, alongside GTA 5's release on next gen consoles.
