Grand Theft Auto V is Rockstar Games' 2013 open-world action-adventure title, following three playable protagonists — Michael, Franklin, and Trevor — as the story shifts between them. Set in Los Santos and the fictional Blaine County, it's known for its dark comedic tone, sprawling open world, and deep vehicle and weapon variety, making it the series' best-selling entry. Alongside the single-player campaign, its continuously updated online mode, GTA Online, has kept an active player base for over a decade. That it remains this popular after more than ten years and multiple platform re-releases speaks to how solid its foundations are.
