Gta 5 Overview
A fictional state based on Southern California, San Andreas, is used as the setting for this game. As a single-player game, it tells the story of three protagonists; a retired bank robber named Michael De Santa, a gangster named Franklin Clinton, and a drug dealer named Trevor Philips.
In this game, the players are faced with the pressure of a shady government agency and powerful criminals who want them to commit heists for them. It features an open world design allowing players to freely explore Los Santos (modeled after Los Angeles), and the open countryside of San Andreas.
In this game, players can choose whether to play from a first-person or third-person viewpoint, using both foot and vehicle navigation. While playing the single-player mode, players handle three protagonists at once, switching between them during missions.
Development of the game
During the release of Grand Theft Auto IV, the game’s production began at Rockstar’s worldwide studios.
Developers drew inspiration from previous games like Max Payne 3 and Red Dead Redemption, reshaping previous games to focus on three protagonists.
A large portion of the project’s development was devoted to the creation of the open world, which was filmed in California by several team members. In the game’s soundtrack, producers created an original score over the course of several years.
A PS3 and Xbox 360 version was released in September 2013, a PS4 and Xbox One version in November 2014, a Windows version in April 2015, and an Xbox Series X and S version and Playstation 5 version in March 2022.
Gta 5 Revenues
A day after its release, Grand Theft Auto V brought in more than $815 million in sales, equivalent to 11.21 million copies sold. It blew away the expectations of analysts.
Within three days of its release, it reached $1 billion in sales, becoming history’s most successful entertainment release.
There is still $15K made each 10 minutes from Grand Theft Auto 5. In the course of a year, this would amount to around $1 billion.
Controversial issues
Critics praised its open world, visuals, gameplay, and the design of multiple protagonists. In spite of this, its portrayal of women and violence caused controversy.
Gta 5 Awards
As one of the most significant console games of the seventh and eighth generations, as well as the best game ever created, the game won numerous awards, including several Game of the Year awards. Over 169 million copies of the game have been sold, placing it second on the list of the best-selling video games ever.
Grand Theft Auto 6
Grand Theft Auto 6 has been confirmed by Rockstar, but we will have to wait and see if it lives up to its forerunner. This is quite a high standard to meet.
It has been a long time since the last game of the series has come, and the players are starting to get impatient. The social media is increasingly flooded with rumors and leaks.
