Update []: Rockstar's official support page has now been updated and the good news is this same patch has been applied to the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy for the Nintendo Switch.

This patch is recorded as 'Update notes 1.112' and once again, you can expect "numerous fixes and improvements" as well as 'Classic Lighting mode' which restores the "look and feel of the sky in the original games".

You can learn more about this latest patch for the GTA Trilogy (including "10 of the biggest changes" in this update) in the original story below.


Original Story: Grand Theft Auto Trilogy wasn't in the best state when it originally launched, but the development team has rolled out multiple updates since then.

With this in mind, the game has now received a surprise update. The catch is it seems to only be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Interestingly though it adds a "Classic Lighting mode" which puts certain aspects of the game in line with the original titles.
