Original article [Wed 13th Nov, 2024 02:25 GMT]:

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.
