The PC version of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy remains still unavailable
Rockstar Games Launcher has returned, but GTA: The Trilogy is still unavailable on PC.
PC gamers were unable to purchase Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy after the Rockstar Games Launcher was unavailable for maintenance on November 11. Despite the recent release of the Grand Theft Auto III trilogy, which brought the gaming platform back to life, players are unable to play their games on computers.
“The Rockstar Games Launcher is now back online. However, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition will remain unavailable to play or purchase as we work to remove some data files that were unintentionally included in the new versions of these games. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and we hope to have the correct versions of the games up and running for everyone as soon as possible.”
The ‘Hot Coffee’ mini game was removed from the original games, but evidence remained after release, leading some to speculate that these unintended files refer to it. Players may be invited to a female NPC’s apartment for ‘coffee’ in this controversial side-mission.
Modders were able to find the dancing style mini-game in the PlayStation and Xbox versions of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, even though it was removed before the game’s release.
Following reports that dataminers have unearthed some of the game’s most famous songs, it seems likely that these are what Rockstar is referring to in its statement. In the game’s code, many songs that Rockstar no longer has the licence to use are still available to the player, but they’re automatically skipped.
