Rockstar Games announced that it plans to release "Grand Theft Auto 3", "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City", and "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" together for the first time as a complete trilogy for the Xbox video system from Microsoft. "Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy" is set to hit shelves in Europe on November 4th, 2005.

The series has become synonymous with open-ended gameplay, cinematic scripts, and epic soundtracks. Credited with setting an ever higher standard for character development, design, styling, interactivity and sound, each title has been hailed as more revolutionary than the last and astounded critics by surpassing the technical and creative standards set by its predecessor.

Time magazine said, "Grand Theft Auto III is a national obsession. Its sequel [Vice City] borders on something more: art." The Chicago Tribune called Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas "the masterpiece of its generation."
