GTA 5: Beginner's Guide

Grand Theft Auto V (GTA 5) is an open-world action game set in a fictional version of Los Angeles. You play as three different characters, complete missions, and explore a huge, detailed city.

How Does GTA 5 Work?

• Switch between three main characters, each with their own story and abilities.
• Complete missions to advance the story or explore the world freely.
• Drive cars, fly planes, and use a wide variety of weapons.
• Cheat codes can be used in story mode for fun effects, but disable achievements for that session.
• GTA Online is a separate mode where you play with others in a shared world.
