Rockstar’s big big release, GTA: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition, was supposed to hit mobile sometime in 2022, but it looks like the mobile version has now been pushed back to fiscal 2023. This means the game could potentially release in early 2023.
This is stated in the latest Take-Two Earnings Result, which lists the release window for GTA: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition (for iOS and Android) as FY2023. The release of the compilation on PC/console was relatively successful for Rockstar Games and Take. Two in terms of sales, but it certainly wasn’t a lot of fans.
The game was criticized for lackluster improvements from the original titles, with many feeling that the games required such a massive improvement over the original. Among the quality concerns, there were also several issues with bugs, crashes, and general inconsistent performance across all platforms.
GTA: The Trilogy Mobile Definitive Edition Postponed to Fiscal Year 2023
Current GTA games on mobile continue to be hugely popular in the mobile gaming community as the games continue to attract new fans throughout the year. The updated collection could be a great addition to mobile platforms, as it will allow both new and old players to experience the trilogy, perhaps in an updated form.
In our review of the collection, we mentioned that GTA: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition failed to live up to its promise, but still delivered a reasonably competent experience.
Other upcoming Take-Two releases include 2K’s cinematic horror The Quarry, which is scheduled to release on June 10, 2022 for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. Marvel’s Midnight Suns, also made by 2K, is due out in the second half of 2022. Both 2022 and 2023 seem to be busy years for Take-Two as their annual NBA 2K and WWE 2K sports franchises will also get new entries in 2023.
