It's plays bad in all consoles. Including Series X and PS5.
Those games are so old that even a calculator could run it. Switch can handle heavier games than those, so it's Rockstars fault, of course.

No thanks. I don't buy broken games that the publisher already confirmed no desire to take further efforts towards fixing.

Doesn't look fuzzy enough. Runs at the same frame rate though.

Nice to see GTA on Switch but $60 for three rubbish "remasters" isn't worth it, I'll wait for a sale

Does anyone know if they already fixed all the issues in the Switch version? #GTATheTrilogy
