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.

Independence Day 2022 in GTA Online

Los Santos and Blaine County are celebrating this week, including bonuses on American pastimes and deep discounts on all sorts of patriotic gear.

3X GTA$ on Land Races

Storm and slipstream your way past your competitors in Land Races this week to edge the rest of the pack out and earn 3X GTA$, all week long.

To sweeten the pot, Racers who complete all Independence Day Special Land Races — Across the Wilderness, Mud, Sweat and Gears, Swamp Monster, and Tour the Lake — will receive a bonus to the tune of GTA$200K (delivered within 72 hours of completion).

You can launch these Races by heading to the Featured Series icon on your map or by using the Quick Join function on your iFruit.

Business Battle Bonuses and Rewards

Capitalism is one big competition and Business Battles are one of the best ways to find out who wants to succeed the most. Keep an eye out for them firing all week long — taking part in Business Battles anytime through July 6 will pay out triple the usual GTA$ and RP.

Meanwhile, retrieved crates might contain the Pisswasser Beer Hat, Benedict Beer Hat, Patriot Beer Hat, Supa Wet Beer Hat, or Statue of Happiness T-Shirt. Because nothing says “stylish and healthy patriot” like a hat specifically designed to deliver alcohol into an awaiting gullet.

2X GTA$ and RP on Lester Contact Missions

Lester Crest’s reputation precedes him — as one of Southern San Andreas’ most successful career criminals, the FIB and other agencies are constant flies in his prescription-strength ointment. Help him out of various binds in Lester Contact Missions to earn 2X Rewards, all week long.

3X GTA$ and RP on Running Back (Remix)

This week marks the return of a selection of modes with chaos woven into their very DNA: Overtime Rumble, Overtime Shootout, Inch by Inch, and Running Back (Remix). Make sure to get your kicks in while they’re available to play.

Everyone loves an underdog story. Case in point: Running Back (Remix), where a pint-sized Panto either barrels its way into the end-zone or gets obliterated in the process. Two teams of Tezeracts duke it out to protect or destroy the tiny hatchback on its mission — and everybody involved gets 3X GTA$ and RP for risking life and limb.

Only on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S

• Hao’s Premium Test Ride:Principe Deveste Eight: Hao’s Special Works is in the business of upgrading and pushing vehicles beyond their manufacturer’s wildest expectations and imaginations — this week’s Premium Test vehicle is a pearlescent Principe Deveste Eight with myriad tweaks under the hood and a coat of Chameleon Paint to put it over the top.
• Hao’s Special Works Time Trial: Put all those tune-ups to good use by flooring it between North Chumash and Palomino Highlands in this week’s HSW Time Trial.

This Week’s Prize Ride: Bravado Gauntlet Classic

Dogged competitors who duck and weave and take shortcuts to place in the Top 5 in Street Race Series for three days in a row this week will get a Bravado Gauntlet Classic for their efforts.

Give the Pegassi Ignus, Pegassi Tempesta, and Pegassi Zentorno a Spin
