Once the GTA Trilogy release date rolls around on November 11, fans will have to wait until 7:00am PST/10:00am EST to actually play the collection, and this holds true regardless of what time zone one lives in. This means that those in Japan, Australia, and New Zealand will technically have to wait until November 12 to play Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition, whereas those in most other regions will get to play on November 11.

It’s unclear exactly why Rockstar Games has decided to release GTA Trilogy like this, but the company has been keeping the collection relatively close to its chest. Besides a GTA Trilogy trailer that it released to announce the collection, Rockstar has otherwise kept the collection underwraps, for whatever reason.
GTA Trilogy Release Times
7:00am PST (US) 8:00am MST (US) 9:00am CST (US) 10:00am EST (US) 3:00pm GT (UK) 4:00pm CET (Germany/France) 12:00am JST (Japan) - November 12 2:00am AEDT (Australia) - November 12 4:00am NZDT (New Zealand) - November 12
While Rockstar itself has not shown much of the collection, even so close to its release date, there’s been leaked GTA Trilogy gameplay footage that’s popped up online, giving fans a look at Vice City in action. This leak has drummed up some complaints about the GTA Trilogy character models and the sound effects, but more of the collection will need to be shown before anyone can make a final verdict.
Besides Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition also includes Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. All three of the games have a brand new art style, one that somewhat mimics the cartoon designs of the characters from the original box art and instruction manuals. A new control scheme has been implemented as well, though it remains to be seen how it all comes together.
Those looking forward to the GTA Trilogy will find out once the collection goes live in their region.
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition launches November 11 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
