Sure, let’s dive into this interesting muddle of PlayStation Plus and Grand Theft Auto 3, shall we? So, guess what? PS Plus Extra has thrown in Grand Theft Auto 3: The Definitive Edition. I mean, it’s like getting an old classic rebooted into something… well, less classic but still iconic. Or at least it tries to be. Confusing, right?
Oh! And mark your calendars — June 17 is when Sony plans to roll out some big updates to the Extra and Premium tiers. But for now, we’re in the throes of this wild Days of Play event where bonus games just pop in. It’s like a game buffet. Started with Another Crab’s Treasure on May 29, and then boom! Skull and Bones on June 2, Destiny 2: Legacy Collection two days later, and if you’re one of those Premium folks — you got Myst and Riven too. And here comes GTA 3: The Not-So-Definitive Edition as the grand finale.
Now let’s get real — this version, it’s not exactly winning awards for excellence. Many say it’s the “worst.” But hey, worseness can be interesting! The graphical changes… let’s just say they’re a mixed bag. Purists would probably roll their eyes into another dimension. But, if you’re subscribed to PS Plus Extra, you can check it out and maybe even have a laugh or two at its quirks.
While we’re throwing it back, let’s remember: GTA 3 shook the gaming world once upon a time. It was the big bang of open-world craziness. Everyone kind of nodded and said, “Yes, this is it!” and raced to make clones. Funny though, this Definitive Edition, due to rights or some corporate arcane thing, is the only way you can play it on PS4 or PS5. But if you owned the old version, lucky you! You can still download it. Ah, technology.
Oh! And speaking of which — GTA 5 was just booted from the PS Plus lineup, and fans did a collective “ugh.” I mean, come on, GTA 3 can’t fill GTA 5’s shoes. It’s like trading a shiny new toy for an old, creaky relic. But hey, that’s gaming for you — always keeping us on our toes.
So there it is, a bit of chaos in the PlayStation universe. Who knew an old game could stir such a pot?
