Netflix has acquired Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy — The Definitive Edition as it anticipates the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, the company announced today.
GTA: The Trilogy, a 2021 release, includes three games in the popular GTA series — GTA III featuring protagonist Claude in Liberty City; GTA: Vice City, which follows former mobster Tommy Vercetti; and GTA: San Andreas with gang member Carl “CJ” Johnson as the central character. The games have been remastered with improved graphics and gameplay upgrades.
On December 14, the three games will be available on the Netflix mobile app as well as standalone apps (only accessible to Netflix subscribers) in the App Store and Google Play Store. Users can pre-register today.
GTA is an impressive addition to Netflix’s mobile game collection, which includes other well-known titles like Monument Valley, Oxenfree, Heads Up!, LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed, Country Friends, Cut the Rope, and more.
Netflix has been expanding its gaming efforts recently. Last month, the company started testing its cloud gaming service in the U.S., enabling players to access games on smart TVs and TV-connected devices by using their mobile device as the controller.
