Netflix, the streaming giant primarily known for its vast library of films and TV series, is bringing three iconic titles from the Grand Theft Auto series to its platform. Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, which includes Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, is set to be available to all paying Netflix subscribers on December 14. This move not only diversifies Netflix's entertainment offerings but also marks a significant milestone in integrating classic video games into a streaming service.
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition was initially released by Rockstar in November 2021, retailing at $59.99. The collection, available on multiple platforms including PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, has now found a new home on Netflix. Subscribers can access these titles at no additional charge, providing a substantial value addition to the existing subscription. This initiative is part of Netflix's broader strategy to incorporate gaming into its service, enhancing overall customer engagement without the hassle of ads, in-app purchases, or extra fees.
The inclusion of the games on Netflix comes at a time when the anticipation for the next Grand Theft Auto has reached its peak. Rockstar recently announced the imminent release of the first trailer for the next installment in the Grand Theft Auto series, further fueling excitement among fans. The arrival of the trilogy on Netflix not only taps into the nostalgia of long-time fans but also introduces a new generation of gamers to these seminal titles.
