Grand Theft Auto V is a 2013 action game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. This is the first major entry in the Grand Theft Auto series since Grand Theft Auto IV in 2008. In the fictional state of San Andreas, Southern California, the story of a single player follows three criminals and their efforts to get pressure from powerful government agencies and criminals. The open world design allows players to explore the open landscapes of San Andreas and the city of Los Santos based in Los Angeles.

The game is played from the perspective of a third person and first person, and the world is controlled by foot or by vehicle. The player controls three main characters throughout a single player and switches between them during and outside the mission. This story focuses on complex sequences, and many missions involve shooting and fun. The “will” system regulates the aggressive behavior of law enforcement agencies towards players who commit crimes. Grand Theft Auto Online online multiplayer game mode allows up to 30 players to participate in various co-op games and competitions.

Game development began shortly after the release of Grand Theft Auto IV and was shared by many Rockstar studios throughout the world. The development team utilized the influence of many of their previous projects, such as Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne 3, and redesigned the three main protagonists of the game to spearhead the basic structure of its predecessor. Most of the development work is about creating an open world, and some members of the research team do field work in California to take photos for the design team. The game’s soundtrack has an original score formed by a team of producers who have collaborated for several years. It was released in September 2013 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, in November 2014 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and in April 2015 for Microsoft Windows.

This widely marketed and much-awaited game broke the industry sales record and became the best-selling entertainment product in history, generating $ 800 million on the first day and $ 1 billion on the first three days. He received widespread critical acclaim, praised his protagonist design, open world, presentation and pleasure. But he caused controversy over the violence and portrayals of women. Considered one of the most important titles in seventh and eighth generation console games, he won awards among the best video games of all time at the end of the year, including the multiplayer Game of the Year award. This is the second best-selling video game of all time, with more than 120 million copies shipped and one of the most successful entertainment products of all time, with a total turnover of around $ 6 billion.
