Earlier this week, Rockstar Games released a surprise update for Grand Theft Auto Trilogy on Switch and other platforms.
Fans were quick to notice that the port team ‘Grove Street Games’ was dropped from the trilogy’s home screen, and now the developer’s CEO Thomas Williamson has responded on social media.
It’s worth noting that Grove Street is still in check-out, but the reference to GSG when booting the game is now gone.
Grove Street Games CEO Thomas Williamson: “Speaking completely hypothetically: it’s a stupid move to remove the primary developers from the credits in an update, especially when the update includes hundreds of fixes made by those developers who haven’t been in the hands of players for years.”
So, just to reiterate, Grove Street Games is still credited, but it’s no longer in the “initial home screen” when you launch any of these games, as featured in multiple GTA sources online.
It is also stated that ‘Video Games Deluxe’ (a team made up of former LA Noire developers) is now credited with the game’s latest update.
In case you missed the news earlier this week, one of the biggest changes in this latest update was the addition of ‘Classic Lighting Mode’ which can now be toggled on or off in the menu and brings back the “look and feel of the sky in the original games”.
