By now, the majority of the video game community is aware of the disaster that was the release ofGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition, a remaster of the classic PS2-eraGTAgames that helped turn developer Rockstar into one of the biggest studios in the world. Sadly, with bugs-a-plenty and a visual upgrade that has left fans disappointed, it’s not surprising that it’s gone down asone of the most disappointing games of 2021. However, the developer is seemingly trying to mend the damage that’s been left in the Definitive Edition’s wake, which includes a holiday giveaway on PC.
According to an article on the Rockstar Games website, those who purchase theGrand Theft Autotrilogy remaster on PC between now and the end of June 20, 2025, will be entitled to a free game, or in-game money add-on, from the company’s own store. On top of that, those who buy the title will also receive $10 off another product that’s priced at $15 or more, just to sweeten the deal.

For those who don’t want an extra game, or already have the ones listed, there’s the option to choose aShark Cash Cardfor GTA Online, or 55 gold bars forRed Dead Online, which add extra currency to their respective games. It’s surprising that Rockstar isn’t offering either of theRead Dead Redemptiongames, but the ones the company is offering may entice PC gamers to get their hands onGTA Trilogy.
At the start of the month, Rockstar also made theclassicGTAgames available again for PC, which meant purchases of the remaster would yield free digital copies of the original trilogy of games released for the PlayStation 2.
