Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy — The Definitive Edition was first released in 2021 by Rockstar Games. The compilation of three iconic open-world games, the trilogy was met with some critical backlash due to performance on console and PC. While great games at heart, some players wished the trilogy modernized some of the control schemes, textures, etc. Developed by Grove Street Games, its use of AI upscaling was also criticized for wonky visual enhancements upon launch. However, the developers have attempted to mitigate those problems.
Currently, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy — The Definitive Edition joins a growing roster of over 80 games for Netflix.

At the time, titles from the mobile game catalogue had been downloaded 23.3 million times. Netflix also reportedly only had 1.7 million daily players compared to its 221 million subscribers at the time.
