GTA Trilogy remaster referenced within Rockstar Launcher

Fans have managed to dig up references to the remaster following an update

Earlier in 2021, Kotaku reported that Rockstar was working on remasters for the three classic GTA titles - GTA 3, GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas - to be released in November this year.

Sources close to the publication had indicated that the remastered versions would be heading to all consoles with a PC release, scheduled for next year.

Kotaku also reported that Rockstar was using the Unreal engine for the remasters and the titles were originally planned for release earlier in the year before slipping to late 2021, due to the pandemic.

Now that release seems imminent. According to images posted on GTAForums (via VGC), references to the remasters have been found in the Rockstar launcher, following an update.

#GTATrilogy icons have also been discovered within the Launcher - with shiny gold outlines!
