It’s not easy for a game to stand the test of time. As technology evolves and the scope of knowledge in the world grows, so too do our expectations. Even the most innovative games’ popularity will generally dwindle over time, as newer releases build on their predecessors’ successes to bring a better, fresher experience to the table. However, a select few–games like Tetris, Scrabble, and Chess–are so pure and perfected in the fundamentals of their gameplay that they’re essentially timeless in their appeal, and have maintained their popularity over the years as a result. Magic: The Gathering is an example of such a game.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the release of the original trading card game. And it’s not just still around on the fringes of society; it has boomed in popularity in recent years. With a string of well-received new card sets, the post-COVID return of high-level competitive play, and the release of an incredibly user-friendly new digital client, there has never been a better time to get into MTG.
That said, getting your feet wet in the game can be an intimidating endeavor at the start. There have been over 20,000 unique Magic cards printed since its inception in 1993. It’s a complicated game, to be sure, with an incredible level of depth to its strategy. There have even been full-length books written on how to use a single card! Even Hall of Fame players and pros would surely tell you that they’re never done learning, and that there’s always room to improve.
Now that the Rockstar-embarrassing, staccato-titled Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition is out on Steam, this terrible trio of remasters has bailed out of Rockstar Store exclusivity and rolled into the speeding bumper of easy Steam Deck compatibility. I’ve spent this afternoon ambling around the redone GTA III, GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas, in handheld form, to confirm what you probably already know: they’re all still a bit crap.
Rockstar Games has relaunched GTA Definitive Edition on Steam and made it fully playable on Steam Deck, with the GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas remasters available now at a dramatic 50% discount, and a launch on the Epic Games Store soon to follow, ideal for open-world and sandbox game fans, and perhaps worth another go as we await the GTA 6 release date.
GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is now free from the exclusivity of the Rockstar Store, and available to purchase over at Steam. All three games are Steam Deck compatible, and also have Steam achievements for all completionists out there. According to the press release, the trilogy is also arriving to the Epic Games store “later in January.”
The games appear in a bundle over at the Steam store, and while they all have individual storefronts, all purchase options redirect you to the trilogy package itself. As an upside, there is currently a 50% off sale for GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, which ends on Thursday, February 2nd.
Ever since launch, if you wanted to play these enhanced editions of GTA III, GTA Vice City, and GTA San Andreas on PC, you could only buy them via the Rockstar Store, which required the Rockstar Games Launcher. That being said, Steam does note that you’re going to need a user account from Rockstar Games Social Club. And, unfortunately, the Rockstar Games Launcher will still run in the background as you play the games.

Today marks the 25th anniversary of strategy classic Age Of Empires, and to celebrate Xbox Game Studios have announced a ream of updates coming to Age Of Empires II: Definitive Edition next year. Technically, the main bit of news from tonight’s anniversary stream is that both Age Of Empires II: DE and Age Of Empires IV will be arriving on Xbox consoles in 2023 (that, and Age Of Mythology is coming back), but the upshot of all that is that the PC versions will be getting the very same benefits, including controller support, crossplay with consoles and cloud gaming support.
