GTA Trilogy gameplay from the Definitive Edition has leaked online, a whole 24 hours before the game’s release.

The GTA Trilogy: The Definitive Edition will release on November 11, 2021, but now it appears that GTA Trilogy gameplay has leaked on YouTube a day early. Reddit users have also been sharing clips, with one user uploading over an hour of footage from Rockstar’s latest remasters.

Rockstar games themselves have not released any videos from the remasters throughout their development. This means players have needed to wait until release day to get a good look at GTA Trilogy gameplay in action.
