When a young street hustler, a retired bank robber and a terrifying psychopath find themselves entangled with some of the most frightening and deranged elements of the criminal underworld, the U.S. government and the entertainment industry, they must pull off a series of dangerous heists to survive in a ruthless city in which they can trust nobody, least of all each other.

Switch between the interconnected lives of Michael, Trevor and Franklin as they embark on a series of heists across Los Santos and Blaine County in the biggest, deepest and richest open world experience yet, with game world enhancements that include new wildlife, upgraded weather and damage effects, and an array of new details to discover.

Grand Theft Auto V also comes with Grand Theft Auto Online, the dynamic and ever-evolving online universe for up to 30 players, and includes all existing gameplay upgrades and content released since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online.

Rise through the ranks to become a CEO of your own criminal empire by trading contraband or form a Motorcycle Club and rule the streets. Pull off daring co-operative Heists, enter adrenaline-fueled Stunt Races, compete in unique Adversary Modes or create your own content to play and share with the entire GTA community.

With a variety of wildlife roaming the Los Santos area, players on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S can now track, find, and photograph a selection of animals as part of a new Daily Collectible.

Plus, photographing just 1 animal will allow players to purchase the Declasse Park Ranger, now available at Warstock Cache & Carry.

New Wildlife Photography Challenge and Declasse Park Ranger on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S

People say that members of the San Andreas State Park Rangers aren’t real cops but then, you aren’t even a real member of the San Andreas State Park Rangers. You’re just a concerned citizen with a passion for keeping the Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness free of litter — chase down messy hikers with the new Declasse Park Ranger, now available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S at Warstock Cache & Carry.

Wildlife Photography

Players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S will also notice wildlife roving the biomes of Southern San Andreas. Locals and visitors alike can track, find, and photograph three different animals each day as part of a new Daily Collectible.

Find out which creatures to be on the lookout for by visiting the LS Tourist Board in Blaine County or send them an email by rolling over the blip on your Pause Menu Map.

WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: Domesticated animals can often be found in the city and suburbs. If you’re tracking a wild predator, maintain your distance or risk getting attacked. If you scare an animal away, try leaving the area and visiting the same location later.

Photographing just one animal in the wild will unlock your ability to purchase the Declasse Park Ranger. Photograph 10 animals to unlock the Trade Price.

You can also compete against the clock in pursuit of a new personal record in Time Trials and earn 2X GTA$ and RP to boot.
