If, by some miracle, modders figured out a way to reactive this music or boot up the Hot Coffee mod, that would be a nightmare for Rockstar to deal with, so they’re not risking it at all, hence why people who bought GTA cannot even play the trilogy right now until they can scrub it clean.

They’re in the game, but due to licensing issues, the game simply avoids playing them. Dataminers also appear to have uncovered every single song that was left out of the re-released trilogy. The Hot Coffee mod isn’t even the only unintentional collection of files from the original games left over. But the code from the original version describing it, and deactivating it, appears to have been left in.

As in, there was no way for players to actually play the Hot Coffee mod, which landed the game an AO rating back in the day and caused it to be banned from sale many places. And it may even be the case that this latest version of San Andreas blocks tinkerers from adding the missing assets back into the game.To be clear, this does not appear to be accessible in the game. There are no naked or semi-naked girlfriend models in the game, and no Hot Coffee animations. said code relating to Hot Coffee is present in every version of San Andreas, but it doesn't work. Now, Hot Coffee is back in the headlines, but according to GTA dataminer Vadim M., GTA: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition may not spark the same sort of controversy this time around. Simon Parkin's wonderful feature, Who spilled Hot Coffee?, is well worth a read if you want to know more. Rockstar parent Take-Two eventually settled with the Federal Trade Commission and, in 2009, a class-action suit for just over $20m. The inevitable lawsuits followed soon after.

Rockstar eventually released an updated version of the game with Hot Coffee stripped out, as well as a patch for the original version to disable access. The discovery of the Hot Coffee mod caused a mainstream media backlash that forced Rockstar to slap San Andreas with an Adults Only rating in the US. Assets for Hot Coffee were subsequently found in the console versions of San Andreas and, via console modding tools, the minigame was enabled on PlayStation 2 and Xbox. While it was disabled for the launch of the game, a mod for the PC version enabled access to it. Hot Coffee was an inaccessible sex minigame in the original 2004 release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. However, dataminers suggest it may be impossible to enable Hot Coffee in the remastered version of San Andreas. Dataminers have discovered code relating to the infamous Hot Coffee mini-game from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in GTA: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition.
