Rockstar is bringing the GTA Trilogy – Definitive Edition to Netflix Games soon, the biggest launch on Netflix’s platform yet. The set of action games will launch on Dec. 14, 2023, on Netflix Games, and you can access it for free as part of your Netflix subscription without having to pay for add-ons, the same as with the other games Netflix offers.
The GTA Trilogy – Definitive Edition includes GTA: Vice City, GTA 3, and GTA San Andreas, and it launches with current updates, which means none of the game-breaking bugs that plagued the collection at launch in 2021 and, presumably, no new ones.
While we consider GTA San Andreas one of the best GTA games, all three in the collection influenced Rockstar’s action game series – and most other game developers – in some way. GTA 3 introduced the concept of an open-world sandbox, Vice City made it actually interesting, and San Andreas showcased how all of these ideas worked together at their best.
Netflix Games is no stranger to big hits, but games from the AAA scene aren’t a common sight. Indie gems including Hades, Oxenfree 2, Dead Cells, and some popular mobile games, tend to headline new arrivals more often. CNBC reported that fewer than one percent of Netflix subscribers actually played a game on the platform, though, so perhaps with this and the anticipation around Rockstar’s GTA 6 reveal, that might start to change.
