Rockstar Adds 'Rotating Assortment' of Classic Games to GTA+ Membership - IGN (www.ign.com)

Rockstar Games has announced that players subscribed to its $5.99 GTA+ membership on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles will now get access to a “rotating assortment” of classic titles, beginning with Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition.

The reworked trilogy is comprised of GTA 3, GTA: Vice City, and GTA: San Andreas, all of which were billed to have benefitted from a slew of graphical and gameplay improvements. The collection released in November 2021 in a pretty rough condition, but Rockstar has since pushed out a series of patches that have alleviated some of the many bugs and graphical issues faced by players at launch.

In IGN’s 5/10 review we noted that the new features “are slight and only partially implemented”, while “visuals are mixed, performance is inconsistent at best, content is missing and bugs and glitches abound”. These technical issues did little to dull consumer enthusiasm, with the collection significantly exceeding Rockstar’s expectations by selling up to 10 million in the months following its release.

Paying out for the subscription service also grants you a monthly bonus of $500,000 of in-game currency, along with discounts and freebies of cosmetic items, properties, cars, and more. Rockstar hasn’t given any indication as to which other ‘classic titles’ will replace the definitive editions of GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas when they are rotated out.

Same people who went crawling back to Netflix after their shared accounts were shut down.
