![]() ![]() Services will return as soon as maintenance is completed." This means that GTA Trilogy, as well as games like GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 cannot be played on PC right now.ġ4 hours later, the account provided an update, saying only, "We thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to work on restoring services for the Rockstar Games Launcher and supported titles." Just a few hours after the release of the collection, Rockstar's support Twitter account explained, "Services for the Rockstar Games Launcher and supported titles are temporarily offline for maintenance. Those who did buy the game on PC are unable to play it, as the Rockstar Games Launcher – which is required to play the collection – has been offline for around 15 hours. If Rockstar responds, or the Launcher comes back to life, we'll update.Rockstar has pulled Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition from sale on PC, seemingly due to ongoing issues with its Rockstar Games Launcher service that render it unplayable.Īt time of writing, the PC version of the remastered GTA Trilogy is not available to buy on Rockstar's website. Things are unlikely to get quite so heated this time around. The Hot Coffee controversy ran for years and ultimately resulted in an investigation into Rockstar by the Federal Trade Commission, a bunch of lawsuits, and the game being reissued with an adults-only rating. Rockstar denied that the minigame was present in San Andreas, which was technically true inasmuch as no 'normal' player could access it, but untrue because the code for the minigame was present in the game's files (and could even eventually be accessed on consoles). In that case Rockstar released the game with a removed sex minigame still present in the code: which eventually a modder was able to access. If these files are any kind of factor, however, this would be one hell of an echo of the San Andreas Hot Coffee farrago. Rockstar has not responded to PC Gamer's request for comment.

"The audio codec used in these games is the open source OGG-VORBIS, so yes these are playable after being extracted. I asked if the unlicensed songs were playable. However because they've split it up like this it makes it incredibly easy to restore the tracks in this version by syncing it with the PS2 version and creating your own _3." _3 being Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' in this example. "For Vice City they've split the stations up into track order, so the songs that were cut for the 10th Anniversary edition are missing here, in the screenshot above you can see how FLASH goes from _1, _2 and THEN to _4. and asked them to explain what we're looking at in the above image. ![]()
