After a stormy launch on consoles and PC last year, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition was to land on mobile media in the first half of 2022. But this will obviously not be the case…
This week, Take-Two Interactive delivered its annual financial results. It was an opportunity to learn that GTA V has sold 165 million copies worldwide, and Red Dead Redemption II 44 million units. Strauss Zelnick, the CEO of the publisher, also wanted to recall his support for a Red Dead Online abandoned by Rockstar (not to mention new content for all that). As for the GTA+ subscription, it visibly exceeded the group's forecasts.
A trilogy not yet out of the inn
But, in the middle of these great games, there is like an ugly duckling called Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition. Take-Two has not bothered to go back on the sales of its compilation, which had nevertheless passed 10 million copies in just a month and a half. Moreover, this trilogy was to arrive on iOS and Android during the first half of the year… Unfortunately, this should not be the case, finally!
Zelnick clarified that the mobile version will launch during the current fiscal year which ends on March 31, 2023. So unless the game lands this month or in June, a postponement will likely be in order. Rockstar Games and Grove Street Games no doubt wish to avoid a rushed launch as was the case with the PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC versions.
