Rockstar Discounts Classic GTA Games on Steam Ahead of

Rockstar Games is running a limited-time sale on several classic Grand Theft Auto titles on Steam, offering some of the lowest prices these games have ever reached. The promotion runs through November 19, coinciding with the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6—a release that notably excludes PC players.

Two major bundles are available at significant discounts. The GTA Trilogy, which includes Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, and San Andreas, is priced at $19.79 (€19.79/£19.79), representing a 67% reduction from its standard price. This marks the lowest price point the trilogy has ever reached on Steam. Grand Theft Auto 4: Complete Edition, bundled with the expansions The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, is available for $6 (€6/£5.09), a 70% discount that approaches historical lows for that title.

The GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition faced significant technical issues upon its 2021 release, but player reception has improved considerably since the collection arrived on Steam in 2023. Vice City and San Andreas both maintain "very positive" ratings on the platform. Grand Theft Auto 3, however, remains at "mixed" status. User reviews suggest the game still experiences occasional problems, though some criticism stems from the title's age—it launched 25 years ago as the series' first 3D entry and carries inherent technical roughness from that era.

Grand Theft Auto 4: Complete Edition offers a more polished experience despite its own age. Released in 2008, the game represents a significant evolution in the franchise's design philosophy and storytelling approach that established the foundation for the series' modern direction. For players seeking a single older GTA title to explore, this edition provides substantial value at less than half the cost of the trilogy.

Notably, these discounts appear exclusively on Steam. Neither PlayStation Store nor Xbox Store currently feature these sale prices. PlayStation Store notably lacks a digital version of GTA 4 entirely, as Sony did not begin selling full-priced games through its digital storefront until years after the game's 2008 release. The timing of these promotions—ending precisely when GTA 6 launches on consoles—suggests Rockstar deliberately positioned them as pre-release offers for PC players, who will not have access to the new title at launch.

The sales represent an opportunity for PC gamers to experience foundational entries in the franchise while waiting for Grand Theft Auto 6's eventual arrival on their platform, which Rockstar has not yet announced.
