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.

GTA: Trilogy – How does it look for the game.

Last night, Twitter user Ben, put out a tweet saying, BREAKING: Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy for mobile devices has been pushed back into 2023. This is good news! This will allow for Grove Street Games to further improve these titles with larger improvements to meet Rockstar Games’ standard of quality.”

But fans had a different set of reactions. Some thought that the delay in the game would still turn out to be a joke as it would have similar kinds of bugs found in the console versions. The others focused more on Grove Street Games, a co-developer of the game. Here’s what they had to say. 

Rockstar had announced the game during their third-quarter earnings report in February. But after releasing the yearly earnings report on Monday, parent company Take-Two Interactive delayed the game to next year. They said that the game would release on 31st March 2023, precisely after one business year. So, if the game comes out next month, it will prove as a shock to many.

Past problems faced by the game

Rockstar had previously released a remastered version of the GTA: Trilogy for PC and console, but the franchise received too much criticism Some of the major reasons were technical issues, bugs, unnecessary developer notes, and unlicensed music. As a result, the company had to stop the PC version.

Despite such problems, Rockstar sold over ten million game copies. They confirmed the number in their sales results which were released in February.
