Rockstar Games Reveal What's New in GTA Definitive Edition

The GTA Definitive Edition trilogy releases November 11 for multiple platforms, but we've known very little about what changes Rockstar made - until now. The developers recently updated their website with a bevy of new details about the remasters and what's been enhanced in the classic games (thanks, VGC).

The majority of the enhancements are visual, with improved graphics and textures in GTA III, GTA Vice City, and GTA San Andreas. Control upgrades are also waiting for players who would try the trilogy, though the devs stress it “still maintains the classic look and feel of the originals”.

Here are all the enhancements posted by Rockstar Games on their official website:

Updated player experience, making it easier than ever to play these classic games, including:

• A GTAV-style controller layout
