Rockstar Games is always on the forefront when it comes to keeping their fans hooked and loyal. Their latest offering, a free access to Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition for GTA+ subscribers, demonstrates this strategy in action. This offer gives fans a fresh chance to relive their favorite classics from the early 21st-century - GTA III, GTA: Vice City, and GTA: San Andreas, all spruced up with the latest tech to shine on modern platforms.
Launched just last year, the GTA+ subscription service on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S is known for offering its subscribers various perks at a monthly cost of $6. These range from a monthly deposit of $500,000 in virtual currency to a myriad of rewards such as exclusive in-game vehicles, apparel, properties, and more. With the addition of access to a rotation of Rockstar Games, starting with the GTA Trilogy, the deal appears sweeter than ever.
For those who remember the era when these titles first came out, each was as iconic and as much of a game-changer as the other. Grand Theft Auto III brought an expansive open-world sandbox, portraying the intricacies of Liberty City. The subsequent release, GTA: Vice City, introduced us to the vocal Tommy Vercetti while offering a delightful dip into 1980s nostalgia. Wrapping up the trilogy, GTA: San Andreas took players on a journey across three cities, blending a compelling narrative with a rich 1990s hip-hop soundtrack.
This gesture by Rockstar might be more than a mere nostalgia-filled cash-grab. It's also a smart move to keep a player engaged in their ecosystem. By providing a monthly rotation of classic titles, Rockstar ensures subscribers always have something to look forward to. While the GTA Trilogy is the first on offer, there is much speculation about the next titles that might grace the GTA+ service.
