According to TechCrunch, the three-game pack’s most recent version, which was launched in 2021, has improved gameplay and better graphics. The games in the collection were first released between 2001 and 2004, according to the Rockstar Games website.
The introduction of GTA by Netflix Games coincides with the company’s gaming service stepping up attempts to attract new customers. Since its 2021 launch, the gaming platform has amassed a catalogue of over 80 titles, including as Cut the Rope and Country Friends, but its growth has been gradual.
According to data from app analytics company Apptopia, less than 1% of Netflix’s 221 million users play games on the platform every day. This information was revealed by CNBC.
According to Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, the company that owns Rockstar, the console version of the game pack “performed great” with players in 2022. As to the report by Video Games Chronicle, a trade newspaper for video games, Take-Two Interactive informed investors last year that the remastered GTA trilogy had sold over 10 million units on consoles.
