About

Grand Theft Auto came out on October 21, 1997 for DOS and PC, then for PlayStation on December 12, 1997. 2 people are playing it on Steam right now, with a peak of 3 in the last 30 days. The main story takes about 3 hours, doing everything about 15 hours.

Grand Theft Auto is the first game in the Grand Theft Auto series and a sandbox-crime game published by Rockstar Games. The original Grand Theft Auto is made up of a series of levels each set in one of the three cities in the game. In each level, the player has a target number of points to achieve, and five lives to attain the score. The score counter doubles as a money meter; the player can spend this money on paint jobs and various other things. However, any money spent is of course taken away from the score, making the goal that little bit further away. On obtaining the target number of points, the player must then drive to a certain location to complete the level, which allows progress to the next one.

Story

As an aspiring young thug, your mission in this video game is to perform odd jobs for the mob, picking up points along the way by committing random crimes ranging from auto theft to hit-and-runs to murder.

What is happening now

Grand Theft Auto is Rockstar Games' long-running open-world crime sandbox franchise, where players navigate fictional cities while engaging in missions centered around illegal activities. The series has consistently pushed boundaries with its satirical take on American culture and crime. GTA 6's impending release has brought renewed attention to the franchise. Coverage has revisited rankings of the series' entries as the new title approaches launch. Meanwhile, the franchise continues to draw criticism from law enforcement; Miami-Dade County's sheriff recently voiced opposition to a proposed collaboration between Rockstar and local authorities, citing the games' foundational themes around criminal activity. Despite such pushback, interest in the franchise remains high as fans anticipate what the next installment will bring.
