In Los Santos and Blaine County, players follow a young street hustler, a retired bank robber, and a volatile criminal whose lives become entangled with the criminal underworld and government. The story follows their dangerous heists and shifting alliances.
During missions, players can switch between the three protagonists, each with distinct skills, and take on driving, shooting, flying, and stealth challenges. Heists involve choosing an approach and crew, preparing equipment, and carrying out the plan.
Away from the story, players can explore the city and countryside, drive or fly vehicles, and take part in side activities. Grand Theft Auto Online adds multiplayer missions, heists, races, and competitive modes; the PC version also includes tools for capturing and editing gameplay footage.
Players often enjoy the three-protagonist story, its characters and humor, and the freedom to explore Los Santos at their own pace. Heists and the range of things to do are recurring highlights, while some reviewers especially value the online mode as a way to play missions and create chaotic moments with friends. Online play is more divisive: reviews also describe frustration with cheaters, grinding, and account-access problems.
