An important turning point in the history of open-world gaming was the 2013 release of Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) by Rockstar Games. It takes place in the fiction state known as Los Santos, which is located in California, and tells the interwoven tales of Michael, Franklin, and Trevor, three different people whose lives collide due to loyalty, ambition, and crime. The game's blend of intricate storyline, extensive exploration, and cutting-edge technology set a new standard for interactive entertainment.
The original Grand Theft Auto, a top-down action game in which players explored pixelated cityscapes and completed tasks for underworld lords, marked the modest beginning of the series in 1997. Its open-ended concept was revolutionary despite its straightforward looks. GTA II (1999) improved the formula's looks as well as a system of reputation. The transition to 3D began with Grand Theft Auto III (2001), which transformed gaming by building Liberty City, a fully explorable 3D city with cars, pedestrians, and a live environment.
With Vice City (2002) and San Andreas (2004), Rockstar expanded their reach and character while building on their success. While San Andreas brought three major cities, RPG-style character attributes, and unheard-of freedom, Vice City gave 1980s neon nostalgia and a killer soundtrack. GTA IV (2008), which told the story of Niko Bellic in a redesigned Liberty City, with a darker, more realistic tone. By the time GTA V came out, Rockstar had perfected the technique of fusing technical ambition, satire, and storytelling.
GTA V's online component, GTA Online, elevated the franchise beyond its single-player story to become a live platform. For over 10 years, the game has been sustained via player-generated content, frequent updates, and changing modes. Not only did GTA V sell well, but it also had a significant impact on game design by establishing new benchmarks for world-building and interactivity.
One of the songs that I liked listening to in GTA 5 was in the Taxi. The audio below will give you an idea of what you can hear:
