The trilogy, which was released earlier this year, had a large number of issues, including bugs, animation issues and several spelling mistakes on signs and other textures.
Rockstar recently issued an apology for the state of the collection, saying: “The Grand Theft Auto series — and the games that make up this iconic trilogy — are as special to us as we know they are to fans around the world. The updated versions of these classic games did not launch in a state that meets our own standards of quality, or the standards our fans have come to expect.”
