been in this shape and the games not in reasonable condition. Rockstar therefore praises improvement and promises patches soon:

According to Rockstar, more details on the included improvements should follow soon, as well as further updates in the coming weeks.
Free for remaster owners: The originals are back
If you don’t want to be patient for that long, you can now switch back to the original versions of GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas. They’ll be returning to the Rockstar Store as a bundle soon. Anyone who purchases the Trilogy by June 30, 2022, also receives the classic variants for free. Mind you, this only applies to the Rockstar Store. Anyone who has purchased the GTA Trilogy on Steam has been looking into the tube in this regard, at least so far.
They thank the fans for their patience and ask that Rockstar employees are no longer hostile to the GTA Trilogy on social media while they are working flat out on improvements.

Now it continues with concrete promises that the developer wants to put into practice. Remasters are currently generally not under a good star. The Skyrim Anniversary Edition also disappointed. That has to end, says colleague Markus.
