Rockstar, which has been trying to fix errors in GTA Trilogy since 2021, has finally released the patches that players have been waiting for.
Rockstar Games is one of the most successful and influential companies in the gaming world, as the creator of the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) series. However, in recent years, especially during the pandemic period, the company’s image has been slightly damaged. First, the player-made “alien wars” incident in GTA Online, and then the problematic launch of GTA Trilogy: The Definitive Edition, left Rockstar in a difficult situation.
Rockstar is Trying to Strengthen the Seat Before GTA 6
However, with the steps it has taken silently, like a chess master, the company is strengthening its position before GTA 6. Rockstar, which has been trying to fix errors in GTA Trilogy since 2021, has finally released the patches that players have been waiting for. But why now? Just before the release of GTA 6, why did they feel the need to invest in a game from 3 years ago?
The answer is actually simple: regain player trust and refresh reputation before GTA 6. Rockstar, which touched nostalgic feelings by restoring old GTA games, also managed to attract the attention of the younger generation. Inspired by the alien wars of 2020, the eCola vs Sprunk event also aimed to revive community spirit.
Of course, player satisfaction is not the only issue. GTA 6 is the biggest project in the company’s 25-year history, and shareholders’ expectations are just as high. Therefore, it is imperative for Rockstar to keep public perception positive.
In short, Rockstar may not have had to repair GTA Trilogy, but by doing so, it checked the flatness of the road before shifting into higher gear. Because before GTA 6, which is expected to be released next year, there is a strategic thought behind every move. This long-term approach seems to make players who are eagerly waiting for GTA 6 happy.
