Five years ago Carl Johnson escaped from the pressures of life in Los Santos, San Andreas... a city tearing itself apart with gang trouble, drugs and corruption. Where filmstars and millionaires do their best to avoid the dealers and gangbangers. Now, it's the early 90s. Carl's got to go home.

A GTA mod from 'Dryxio' lets you move and shoot between the worlds of Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, and San Andreas through large portals. Read the full story on PCGamesN: GTA modder brings Liberty City, Vice City, and San Andreas together at last - with portals
The CEO of GTA The Trilogy Definitive Edition developer Grove Street Games has responded to the game's latest update. Though GTA 6 is now its main focus, Rockstar recently launched a fix for the remastered versions of GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas which reintroduced the weather and sky effects from the original editions of each game. The opening 'splash' screen was also changed - the new version excludes any mention of Grove Street Games. The developer is still listed in the closing credits, however, but immediately following the update, there was speculation that mentions of Grove Street
My hopes are high for GTA 6. We're going back to Vice City (albeit a reimagined, modernized version) and, based on Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar's ability to spin a convincing, epic crime drama has only gotten better in the past ten years. But the shadow of the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition still looms large over my memory. The 'improved' visuals effectively robbed GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas of all their identity and atmosphere. Forget the bugs and other technical problems - even when they were running correctly, the new versions of the classic Grand Theft Auto games just looked wors
There are a lot of reasons to be excited about Grand Theft Auto 6. The return to Vice City. Continuing the story from GTA 5. Finally finding out first-hand what Rockstar has been working on since the launch of Red Dead Redemption 2. But I'm also looking forward to the oddities, eccentricities, and the strange sandbox game surrealism that's bound to be buried inside GTA 6. You'll likely remember the Moon size trick from GTA 3 and Vice City. Likewise, the beating heart inside Grand Theft Auto 4's Statue of Happiness, and the ghosts haunting various spots around Los Santos. Now, one former Rockst
Following the release RTX Remix Open Beta, modders aplenty have started working on remixing classic PC games, including Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. However, while Grove Street can clearly benefit from path tracing, there's still plenty of work to be done before this mod is ready for prime time. Read the rest of the story...

GTA 6 is kind of a big deal. Few names are as industry-defining as the Grand Theft Auto series, so it's no surprise that we're all eagerly waiting to see exactly what Rockstar Games has in store for us next. But before the success of GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Bully, it was the trilogy of GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas that truly elevated the company to, well, rockstar levels within the game industry, and if you've never experienced them yourself or simply fancy revisiting the classics, a new Steam sale is here to make it cheaper.

Grand Theft Auto has long stood the test of time as one of the most iconic game series ever. Rockstar Games' long-lasting line of city-based criminal activity-focused experiences has just evolved even further with the company's new GTA+ subscription membership benefits. The developer just announced that all players subscribed will have access to a steadily changing selection of classic Grand Theft Auto games, from beloved entries like San Andreas to Vice City.

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas has come to Cities Skylines, I'm not kidding.

Between GTA 3, Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, it felt like the Rockstar sandbox game never could and never would put a free-roaming foot wrong. But then came GTA Definitive Edition. Over a year since Grand Theft Auto DE launched, we're still waiting on bug fixes from Rockstar (and maybe a Red Dead Redemption 2 update, while they're at it). Nevertheless, GTA Definitive Edition is now on the Epic Games Store, after its recent arrival on Steam. It's still buggy, but it's going for cheap, so might be worth another try as we wait - and wait - for the GTA 6 release date. Read the rest
Despite the GTA trilogy's Definitive Edition finally making it onto Steam, the amount of bugs and glitches have left Rockstar's classic sandbox game series in a rough spot. Thankfully, it looks like the developer has added some new updates to each of the three Grand Theft Auto games, potentially heralding some fixes. Read the rest of the story...

Rockstar launching GTA Definitive Edition on Steam felt like a chance to give the sandbox game collection a new lease of life, a second wind. Despite a 50% discount however, the remasters of GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas are struggling to find a substantive player base on Valve's platform, as many of the bugs and visual issues that hampered the original launch of Definitive Edition remain in the re-release. If you want more Grand Theft Auto, you may just want to wait until the GTA 6 release date. Read the rest of the story... RELATED LINKS: GTA Definitive Edition hits Steam and Steam Deck
Rockstar Games has relaunched GTA Definitive Edition on Steam and made it fully playable on Steam Deck, with the GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas remasters available now at a dramatic 50% discount, and a launch on the Epic Games Store soon to follow, ideal for open-world and sandbox game fans, and perhaps worth another go as we await the GTA 6 release date.

GTA: Definitive Edition has received a sudden update that seems to address a variety of performance issues in the remakes of GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas, but the Rockstar sandbox game also seems to have undergone a mystery and potentially telling change within its codebase.

While we all wait around for GTA 6, one Twitch streamer passes the time by getting 100% in Rockstar's open-world crime sim San Andreas in less than 12 hours. GTA: San Andreas is enormous. Even compared to GTA Online, which after nearly ten years is still receiving updates and add-ons, Rockstar's original jaunt to Los Santos is sprawling and vast, with hidden missions, secret jumps and myriad collectibles like horseshoes and graffiti tags. Nevertheless, one Twitch streamer, a Danish GTA expert named Crucial1357, has managed to beat the entire game, all the way to 100% completion, in a new-recor
