Players can pre-register for each title before they launch on December 14. The news comes weeks after games likeHadesandBraidwereannounced to arrive on the servicenext year.
For some, these games are staples of the video game world, as they redefined the series to what it is today.GTA III,Vice City, andSan Andreascame out in 2001, 2002, and 2004, respectively. Each of them launched on the PlayStation 2 and became the highest-selling games on the system. That’s saying something given theconsole’s immense success. Rockstar Games raked in the money, and thecontroversies, and became legends in the industry.
Grand Theft Auto IIIfollows down-on-his-luck Claude as he enters the crime-filled world of Liberty City on a quest for revenge.Vice City, on the other hand, tackles its version of Las Vegas with Tommy Vercetti’s rise back into the mafia scene after being released from prison. Finally,San Andreasshowcases a more realistic world as we see CJ Johnson’s reluctant return to gang warfare.

For many people, the thought of accessing anyGTAfrom your phone is amazing, even more so from Netflix. You’ll get that fantasy, though there is one problem: it’sGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy. Yes, the one that came out last year to abysmal fanfare. Itshorrendous launchandlow qualitymade even die-hard fans wince. Fortunately, it seems like changes were made, as the collection is set to be ‘updated’ for mobile devices.
Still, this is a huge hit for Netflix Games, as their platform hasn’t been as out-there with their games as other services have. Their section of games includes titles likeImmortalityandOxenfree, among others. As mentioned before, the acquisition comes after announcing a few 2024 additions during Netflix Geeked Week.
December is shaping up to be big for Grand Theft Auto fans, as it wasrevealed last monththat aGrand Theft Auto VIis on the way.Grand Theft Auto Vhas been the face of the series for 10 years and soldmillions of copiesover its lifetime. Now, finally seeing the next generation of open-world crime simulators will be nothing short of exciting.
