Grand Theft Auto V is a 2013 action-adventure game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. It is the seventh main entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, following 2008’s Grand Theft Auto IV, and the fifteenth installment overall. Set within the fictional state of San Andreas, based on Southern California, the single-player story follows three protagonists: retired bank robber Michael De Santa (Ned Luke), street gangster Franklin Clinton (Shawn Fonteno), and drug dealer and gunrunner Trevor Philips (Steven Ogg). They attempt heists while facing pressure from a corrupt government agency and powerful criminals. Players explore the open-world countryside and fictional city of Los Santos, based on Los Angeles.
The game world can be explored on foot or by vehicle, from either a third-person or first-person perspective. Players shuffle between the three protagonist throughout the story mode, both during and outside missions. The story revolves around heist sequences, with many missions involving gameplay featuring shooting and driving. A “wanted” system dictates the severity of the law enforcement’s response to player crimes. In Grand Theft Auto Online, the game’s multiplayer mode, up to 30 players participate in various cooperative and competitive game modes.
