Rockstar Games is set to releaseGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Editionon November 11, bringing the classic PS2-eraGrand Theft Autogames to a Nintendo console for the first time ever.Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Editionwill be available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms as well, but it seems that the Nintendo Switch version will include some exclusive features.
Instead of simply creating a handheld version ofGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition, the Switch port actually has exclusive features that take advantage of the hardware’s unique capabilities. According to Rockstar Games, theGTA TrilogySwitch version includes optional gyro aiming controls as well as theGrand Theft Auto 5-style control schemeavailable in other versions of the game.

Not only that, but theGTA TrilogySwitch portalso has motion control support. Those playingGrand Theft Auto Trilogyon the Nintendo Switch will be able to use the touch screen to zoom in with the camera and make menu selections, if they so desire. Again, these are extra features on top of what’s available on other platforms, and it’s not even including the ability to playGrand Theft Auto Trilogyon the go.
The Nintendo Switch version ofGrand Theft Auto Trilogywill include the other enhancements coming with the game, of course.Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive EditionhasGTA 5-style controls, improved aiming mechanics, updated weapon and radio station wheels, an updated mini-map, and more. It’s unclear if the Nintendo Switch version will have built-in achievements, (Rockstar updated theGrand Theft Auto Trilogyachievement and trophy lists), as the Switch console itself doesn’t have an achievement system of any kind.
It remains to be seen exactly how the Switch version ofGrand Theft Auto Trilogystacks up to the PC, PlayStation, and Xbox versions in terms of performance, but fans won’t have to wait long to find out. TheGrand Theft Auto Trilogyrelease dateis November 11 on digital storefronts, with the game’s physical release set to follow on December 7.
So far, reaction to theGrand Theft Auto Trilogyimprovements have been mostly positive, a stark contrast to how fans reacted to thenext-genGTA 5footagethat dropped recently. That game isn’t due out until March 2022, so hopefullyGrand Theft Auto Trilogyis enough to tide fans over until then.
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Editionlaunches November 11 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X with mobile versions also in development.
