These remasters feel less stable than the glitchy originals, with a lack of attention to detail that undermines the games’ character
The three remasters were downloaded through Netflix 18 million times in their first month.
Netflix‘s mobile download numbers have reportedly risen drastically thanks to the addition of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition to the service. All three remasters were made available to Netflix members on December 14 via the App Store, Google Play, and in the Netflix mobile app.
Players are able to download and play the games as part of their Netflix subscription, with no extra charges. As a result of this high-profile addition to its library, Netflix has seen a sharp increase in monthly game downloads, according to Appmagic data reported via Mobilegamer.biz.
According to the data, Netflix’s monthly game downloads were around 10 million in November 2023, but this shot up to around 28 million in December 2023.
18 million downloads across the GTA trilogy on Netflix is incredible numbers and dwarfs the total number of Starfield downloads. This highlights that whilst Microsoft wants Game Pass to be the 'Netflix of gaming' its reach is currently just as a complementary service to the Xbox games console. Whereas Netflix because it is so ubiquitous has the potential to be the real Netflix of gaming and do what Sony, Microsoft and Google Stadia all have dreamed of doing and reach the casuals who never dreamed of buying a console.
Now you can download games on to your iOS/Android device, for sure Netflix is looking to offer full triple-A games that are streamed via the cloud on their TV app.
Three iconic locations, three epic stories.
Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is coming to Netflix on December 14 for Netflix members on the App Store, Google Play, and in the Netflix mobile app.
Starting today, fans can pre-register to play Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, featuring the genre-defining titles of Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, each updated for mobile.
Beginning today, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars are now available for GTA+ Members to play on compatible iOS and Android devices.
Sweet. I loved Liberty City Stories despite the city being empty. Those main story missions were tough but fun.
The Defective Edition I love Vice City but I am not paying $80 Canadian full price for a game with bugs I did that once with Cyberpunk. I learned my lesson and I am not going down that route again nor am I going to repeat that mistake ever again bugs are funny at first but then they get annoying very fast.
It’s a shame that game companies are so shady nowadays. Now we know why no footage was released prior to release.
Smh i was really looking forward to the GTA Trilogy til i played it R* you let me down
This just a cash grab. Do as little as possible and charge almost full price for decade old games, cash in, and pretend to address the complaints.
Resident evil 2, final fantasy, and Tony hawk are true remasters.
The trilogy deserved the best treatment or to be left alone.
Terrible trend of companies today to remaster and destroy what made them, them.
Remasters deserve the highest kind of love.
