‘Grand Theft Auto’ trilogy will be remade for current consoles later this month

Rockstar Games is remastering all three games to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the original release of “Grand Theft Auto III,” set in a fictionalized, crime-ridden version of New York City. “Vice City” and “San Andreas” are the two subsequent entries in the franchise, placing players in versions of Miami and Los Angeles respectively, that iterate off the freewheeling, “anything goes” life of crime and vice.
