About GTA 5
Released back in 2013, GTA 5 is one of the most successful video games in history. Currently GTA 5 has sold over 120 million copies, making its developers Rockstar and parent company Take-Two a ton of money in the process.
If you know nothing about this title note it is split into two game’s essentially. On the one side you have the single player experience which places players in the roles of three main protagonists: Michael, Trevor, and Brad. These criminals work a number of jobs in the fake world of Los Santos. Completing the single player takes about 31.5 hours (roughly).
Alongside the single player story mode there is a multiplayer component. GTA Online drops a number of players into Los Santos where they can undertake various illegal activities while earning money to purchase a slew of items such as properties, cars, boats, planes, and weapons. Given the success of this game mode Rockstar still consistently adds to this mode through large updates.
