In Los Santos, a young street hustler, a retired bank robber, and a volatile criminal become entangled with the criminal underworld, the government, and the entertainment industry. The story follows their dangerous attempts to pull off heists, and you can switch between the three protagonists.
Explore the city and surrounding countryside on foot or in vehicles, take on story missions and side activities, and use firearms and other equipment in action sequences. Heists involve planning and carrying out robberies, while driving, racing, and free-roaming let you choose how to spend time between missions.
GTA Online extends the setting into a shared world for up to 30 players. Players can start businesses, complete cooperative heists, race, compete in other modes, and visit social spaces, solo or with others. The Enhanced edition includes options such as ray tracing, DLSS and FSR support, DirectStorage on supported devices, and Dolby Atmos support.
Players who praise the game often point to its three-protagonist story, the freedom to explore Los Santos, and the range of things to do, from driving and missions to online businesses and heists with friends. Some reviewers also appreciate the Enhanced edition’s visuals. Criticism in the supplied reviews frequently concerns GTA Online’s payouts and grind, disruptive cheaters, and account, launcher, or anti-cheat problems that can prevent access; some also feel the Enhanced changes are limited.
When a young street hustler, a retired bank robber, and a terrifying psychopath find themselves entangled with some of the most frightening and deranged elements of the criminal underworld, the U.S. government, and the entertainment industry, they must pull off a series of dangerous heists to survive in a ruthless city in which they can trust nobody — least of all each other.
