I think they got shut down did they not?

Just keep Grove Street Games as far away from this as possible.
No one wants to see them butcher another entry in this series with their lazy, AI-upscale slop.

They are still hiring, according to their website - so unlikely they’ve been shut down.

I must’ve heard wrong then. I swear I saw that they got shut down and then a different team came in to do those extra fixes on the shitty trilogy collection

To be fair I don’t think the issue is Grove Street Games. The AI-upscale texture work wasn’t even done by them - that was Technicolor, who Rockstar, as far as I know, still use to this day.
The issue was that Rockstar gave them a tiny budget, not a whole lot of time, and then moved the deadline forward six months when GTA V E&E got delayed. I think the scope for the project was fundamentally wrong as well, the games needed a lot more than a straightforward port onto Unreal Engine.
No wonder it released in the state that it did.
