For quite some time, Rockstar has been delaying the release of new titles. A prime example of this is the Grand Theft Auto: 6. The prequel of this title came out nine years back, making fans ask for a new one. But whenever the franchise is questioned about it, they say that it is still in development. A similar situation has swirled up for the GTA: Trilogy, as they have now pushed the game to 2023.

GTA: Trilogy – How does it look for the game.
Last night, Twitter user Ben, put out a tweet saying, “BREAKING: Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy for mobile devices has been pushed back into 2023. This is good news! This will allow for Grove Street Games to further improve these titles with larger improvements to meet Rockstar Games’ standard of quality.”
But fans had a different set of reactions. Some thought that the delay in the game would still turn out to be a joke as it would have similar kinds of bugs found in the console versions. The others focused more on Grove Street Games, a co-developer of the game. Here’s what they had to say.
Grove Street Games at this point have a terrible track record in terms of quality.
Management problem. Resource problem. Money problem. It's one or all of the above. As a consumer, I don't really care about what the problem is internally.
If their name is attached, expect crap.

It's not getting pushed because of bugfixes. It's getting pushed because the handless idiots working at GSG simply don't know how to port a PC game to mobiles.

How is going with the PC version of the trilogy? Is still with those bugs or is now fixed? Because next month I'll be buying this trilogy on PC.

Jesus you are such a fanboy. The mobile ports of DE will have the exact same problems as the console versions (+older mobile versions). It probably only got pushed back due to preformance and compatability issues.

I wonder if they lost the PS2 source code or if the mobile code was used because GSG was more familiar with it. I can't think of another reasonable explanation unless they were just careless. Which they obviously were but whatever

Ports of faulty mobile ports, now getting ported back into mobile. Ffs they should delist these and restore the originals and update the PC versions to work properly without mods

Why are those amateurs still working on that game? Give it to a small team at rockstar.

Rockstar had announced the game during their third-quarter earnings report in February. But after releasing the yearly earnings report on Monday, parent company Take-Two Interactive delayed the game to next year. They said that the game would release on 31st March 2023, precisely after one business year. So, if the game comes out next month, it will prove as a shock to many.

Despite such problems, Rockstar sold over ten million game copies. They confirmed the number in their sales results which were released in February.
