While it’s a compilation of games originally released on PS2, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is still one of the most anticipated titles this year. Because of this, some players may want the opportunity to prepare so that they are ready to play as soon as it officially goes on sale. This possibility is given to those for whom the dematerialized game is not a problem. But it is not given to everyone at the same time.
The GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition can now be preinstalled on some platforms. As a matter of fact, Players who have pre-ordered the digital version of the compilation from the Microsoft Store and Nintendo eShop can now download it to their console. So this affects the versions of the compilation for the Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo and Xbox at the forefront
For their part, PlayStation players will have to wait a little longer. On PlayStation Store, overnight pre-loading begins Friday through Saturday at midnight KST. At this time, PS5 and PS4 players can pick up Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition.
However, on PC, players have to wait until the last moment to get the compilation. Indeed, Rockstar has announced that it will not offer preloading on PC.
Games dematerialized, play first
Players who pre-ordered and downloaded the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition will be able to play KST on November 11th at 3:00 p.m. At this point the American publisher will officially start compiling. Only in a dematerialized version.
As mentioned earlier, the physical version of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition won’t be released until December 7th.
