Rockstar Games officially announced the reissue collection of the GTA trilogy earlier this week, named GTA: Trilogy-Ultimate Edition, which will be officially released on November 11. This game will include GTA 3, GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas, presented at a new level of quality, but some PC players will feel a little upset by one of the news.
When R Star officially announced the news of the upcoming release of GTA: Trilogy-Ultimate Edition, the landing platform of this game was announced. It can be seen from the official website at first that when the PC version was announced, this game specifically pointed out that it will be released on the Rockstar Games Launcher, which is R Star’s own platform, and the original GTA trilogy has been removed from the Steam platform. The platform stated that the delisting was done at the request of the publisher.
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition will be available digitally on November 11 through the PlayStation Store, the Microsoft Store on Xbox, Nintendo eShop, and the Rockstar Games Launcher, with select physical releases on December 7. https://t.co/9cNNSbAnEO pic.twitter.com/676wK5b3vi

Later, some players found the page information of the Steam platform GTA: Trilogy-Ultimate Edition through data mining, and believed that this game should also land on Steam. However, yesterday, the official Twitter of R Star once again promoted GTA: Trilogy-Ultimate Edition, and the words PC via the Rockstar Games Launcher” on the official website were directly changed to Rockstar Games Launcher on Twitter.

R Star is not the first time to play this kind of routine. Before Red Dead Redemption 2 landed on the PC platform, Star R also promoted the Star Launcher on its official website and put Epic Game Mall and Steam in the Other Store Information column. And this time R star even omitted the Other Stores column.
However, basically, everyone thinks that GTA: Trilogy-Ultimate Edition landing on the Steam platform is just a matter of time, and now it’s just a disguised time-limited exclusive. In addition, players who purchase this game in R Star Launcher will have a limited-time offer. Players who purchased before January 5, 2022, can get a $10 coupon to purchase other games. However, the voucher is only valid until January 16, 2022, and it will become invalid after expiration.
