Grand Theft Auto V is an open-world action-adventure game developed by Rockstar Games, set in the fictional city of Los Santos — a satirical take on modern Los Angeles. The single-player campaign follows three protagonists: Michael De Santa, a retired bank robber; Trevor Philips, a volatile criminal; and Franklin Clinton, a street hustler. Players switch between all three as they execute elaborate heists and navigate a sprawling criminal underworld.\n\nThe game features one of the largest and most detailed open worlds in gaming history, encompassing a full city, surrounding countryside, mountains, and ocean. Activities range from story missions and side quests to sports, stock market manipulation, and random encounters. The world reacts dynamically to player behavior, and a five-star wanted system governs police escalation.\n\nGrand Theft Auto Online, the game's multiplayer component, launched shortly after release and has been expanded continuously for over a decade. It supports up to 30 players in a shared open world, offering heists, races, businesses, and seasonal content updates. GTA Online remains one of the most-played online experiences on console and PC, driving a large in-game economy around Shark Cards and virtual currency.
