Take-Two interactive has shifted the release of the Grand Theft Auto: Trilogy to 2023. Originally the game was supposed to release in the first half of this year on iOS and android. Last night, a Rockstar games enthusiast confirmed this on his Twitter post.

For quite some time, Rockstar has been delaying the release of new titles. A prime example of this is the Grand Theft Auto: 6. The prequel of this title came out nine years back, making fans ask for a new one. But whenever the franchise is questioned about it, they say that it is still in development. A similar situation has swirled up for the GTA: Trilogy, as they have now pushed the game to 2023.
