All three games are considered foundational entries in the series. Grand Theft Auto III, originally released in 2001, is noted for introducing a three-dimensional era to the franchise. It was followed by Grand Theft Auto: Vice City in 2002 and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas in 2004, both of which expanded the game’s worldbuilding, style, and player customization options. The Definitive Edition bundles updates that refresh mechanics and visuals while preserving the core gameplay that fans remember. [Citation: Rockstar Games]
