Classic GTA Game Now Part of PS Plus Extra on PS5, PS4 | Push Square

As the Days of Play initiative from Sony continues, so too do the bonus game additions for PS Plus Extra. Next in line is GTA: San Andreas — Definitive Edition on PS5 and PS4, which is available to download now for all active members. The game is playable on the service for as long as it remains part of the membership. Given Rockstar Games' track record with subscription services, this might not be as long as a normal PS Plus addition.

The Definitive Edition of GTA: San Andreas originally arrived alongside GTA 3 and Vice City in a bundle that essentially launched completely broken. After a disappointing launch, there have been notable updates for the three remasters, but the collection still leaves a sour taste in fans' mouths. Now, at least, you can check it out without having to pay any extra on top of your membership.

When we reviewed the complete remastered collection in 2021, we awarded a 5/10 rating and concluded: «All three mainline GTA games from the PS2 era are seminal pieces, and they still hold up to modern scrutiny – the outstanding GTA San Andreas especially. But as remasters these are weak: they chug on modern hardware and are undone by questionable artistic decisions.»

Again, patches have arrived to fix some of these issues in the time since, but it still feels like these three PS2 classics — San Andreas in particular — deserved better. Will you still give the updated version a go on PS Plus Extra? Let us know in the comments below.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he can be found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

… Im good, thanks
