Grand Theft Auto V is a single-player and online open-world action-adventure game set in the fictional city of Los Santos and the surrounding San Andreas, inspired by Los Angeles and Southern California. Players control three distinct characters—Michael, Franklin, and Trevor—who engage in heists and missions while navigating the criminal underworld, government corruption, and their own complex relationships. The game features a massive, dynamic open world with diverse activities, a satirical story about contemporary America, and the ability to freely switch between the protagonists to complete interwoven narratives and self-directed adventures.
