The music list for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is in the wild, but have your favourite tracks made the cut?
We’re mere hours away from the release of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, but we’ve just gotten an inkling as to what tunes you’ll be rocking out to during your travels within Liberty City, Vice City and San Andreas.
The collection (available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, XBO, Switch and PC), takes the three classic games and provides more modern controls inspired from GTA V and provides some pretty impressive graphical enhancements. We’re talking upgrades to environments and character models, 4K resolution and up to 60 FPS performance. It’s bloody exciting stuff.
Then there’s the soundtrack, which by-and-large is an astounding collection of tracks within beloved in-game radio stations like Double Clef FM, Flash FM and Radio X.
Unfortunately not every single song from the original games have been able to make the transition (licencing agreements at their finest) but the fine folk at Game Informer have done a little digging and found every track that won’t be available.
The problem music seem to be limited to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, but the good news is that if you’re faves aren’t listed below, they’re safe and sound.
Happy hunting:
