The new Definitive Edition adds some much-needed upgrades to the visuals and graphics of the older GTA titles. The new bundle has much more realistic-looking worlds with sharper character models. The original games are more than a decade old at this point and Rockstar has done a terrific job in restoring the game.

The newer games have also got some subtle graphical upgrades, which look super amazing. It seems like Rockstar has even made some modifications to the lighting as well.
