Even though the developers, Rockstar games, haven’t really shown much gameplay, the game does look good in the trailer. Characters have been upscaled, lighting has drastically improved and the game truly feels refreshed.

Sadly, no in-game footage has been revealed. All that players have been left with are cinematic videos and pre-recorded gameplay. However, that has changed as a Reddit user managed to capture some in-game screenshots of GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition.

Screenshots from GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition leaked online

It’s unclear how, but a netizen managed to get the game early and post some in-game screenshots, along with the loading screen. Even though they are not quite clear, they do provide a better perspective as to what gamers can expect from the game.

The revamped menu looks quite good compared to the classic title’s in-game pause screen.

Right off the bat, the first thing to catch the eye is the beautiful lighting. San Andreas has never looked this good. In-game assets have been upscaled and shadows are very prominent.

Another noticeable difference is the draw distance. In the original game, players could not see that far, but GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition which has remedied this problem.

In addition to the improved draw distance, the mini-map is now angled rather than flat. This should help players a lot during exploration and travel.

A video with the gameplay has also made its way into the public domain.

What do fans think about GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition based on the leaks?

Based on feedback from others on the Subreddit forum, players are excited about the game. User u/DanUnbreakable had this to say:

Based on overall feedback, players are genuinely excited to get hold of the game. Given that the screenshots are taken from a Nintendo Switch, via gameplay using its docking station, one can only imagine how good it will look on higher end devices.
