Noted Grand Theft Auto enthusiast and gamer, Vinewood Motors, reported the Base.com price leak of the upcoming trilogy.
Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Game’s parent company, previously set the price point of $70 for other games as well. Taking things back a bit, NBA 2K21 and 2K22 were shipped at $70. In addition, another sad news for Grand Theft Auto fans is the fact that the classic versions of GTA III, GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas will be removed from digital stores soon. This includes PlayStation Store and Steam as well.
Another thing that fans are not sure of is how much of a remaster these games are getting and if its worth it. For example, recently, Alan Wake got a remaster and it was definitely alright but not what people expected from it. There were certain texture enhancements and other details but, not what a remaster in 2021 should look like.

On the other hand, we saw a complete remaster of the classic Resident Evil games by Capcom with the Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 3 Remake. Now, that is the kind of a remaster one would expect from a game this year. It is difficult to say what the upcoming Grand Theft Auto The Trilogy The Definitive Edition holds for us. Only time will tell.
