Grand Theft Auto V is a 2013 adventure game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. This is the first major entry in the Grand Theft Auto series in the Grand 2008 Theft Auto IV. Located in the fictional state of San Andreas, based in Southern California, the story of a single player follows three criminals and their attempts to commit crimes under pressure from authorities and powerful criminals. The open world design allows players to wander freely across San Andreas and the fictional city of Los Santos based in Los Angeles.
The game is played by a third or first person, and the world is controlled on foot or by transport. The player controls the three main characters of a player and switches between them, both during and outside the mission. The story focuses on sequential activities, and many missions involve photography and game control. The “search” system regulates aggression by law enforcement agencies against players who commit crimes. Grand Theft Auto Online, a multiplayer online game mode, allows up to 30 players to participate in a variety of cooperative and competitive game modes.
Game development began shortly after the launch of Grand Theft Auto IV and was shared among many Rockstar studios around the world. The development team has influenced many previous projects, such as Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne 3, and has developed the game around the three main characters to renew the core structure of their predecessors. Much of the development work was to create open worlds, and several team members performed field work in California to shoot for the design team. The soundtrack for the game has an original score compiled by a team of producers who have worked together 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.
The game was extremely selling and highly anticipated, breaking sales records in the industry and becoming the fastest-selling entertainment product in history, generating $ 800 million on the first day and $ 1 billion on the first three days. He has received great praise for his many main characters, patterns, open world, presentation and games. But this caused controversy over her portrayal of violence and women. Considered one of the most significant names in seventh and eighth generation console games and among the best video games ever made, it won praise at the end of the year, including Game of the Year awards from several editions of the game. It is the second best-selling video game of all time with more than 120 million copies and one of the most economically successful entertainment products of all time, with approximately $ 6 billion worldwide.
