Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox Series X/S) - Xbox Live Key - GLOBAL

One of the biggest action-adventure games awaits you with its huge world, interesting gameplay, rich story, and memorable characters. Take control over Franklin, Trevor, and Michael and make your dreams come true in San Andreas.

Grand Theft Auto V is an action-adventure game where you can roam the open world as much as you wish and complete the story missions which additionally unlock gameplay mechanics. You decide how you’re going to lead your character, either getting to the top of the richest people in Los Santos or to the very bottom with the gangs and organized crime.

Story

Los Santos is a beautiful, yet dangerous place and here you will have to take control of Michael de Santa, Franklin Clinton, and Trevor Philips. You do not pick only one of them but play through the story from the perspective of each of them, often changing places during the action of the game. The plot circles around the often illegal activities of the three main characters, their lives spiraling out of control and the road to regain control and achieve success in a big city overcome by corruption and gangs.

Gameplay

GTA V features many gameplay elements famous from the earlier games from the series, with the car stealing and carrying many weapons at once being some of the most famous features. The game is played either from a third or, for the first time in the series, the first-person perspective. In the single-player game you play as one of the three main characters, Trevor, Mike or Franklin, with the possibility to change your character at any moment as long as you are not in a mission. 

When you enter the world you have the possibility to complete the story missions which play out from the perspective of one of the main characters specific to the plot taking place in a given moment. Additionally, while free-roaming the world you may encounter secondary missions as well as bounties and part-time jobs which can give you money for your spendings. Exploring Los Santos and the rural areas around called Blaine County is a big part of the game, and you may spend a great number of hours doing just that without even picking up a single story mission.

Combat and crime

To fight your enemies you can use melee, guns or explosives. Arming yourself with the help of a number of available weapon shops is a good method of spending your hard-earned money, which in the process can help you in becoming even more efficient in shooting your way into wealth. The game implements auto-aim to help fight foes as well as a cover system consisting of shielding yourself from the enemy’s bullets by for example hiding behind an obstacle.

When you commit a crime the wanted meter shows up symbolized by stars showing up on the screen, the more stars you have the more wanted you are. The bigger bounty on your head, the more advanced law forces are looking for you, such as the SWAT forces if your wanted level reaches 5 stars. So be careful and hide from the officers’ sight and leave the wanted area as soon as possible. If you happen to die in the midst of the fight you don’t need to worry because the hospital personnel will make sure to make you as right as rain once you respawn there.

Play as you want!

When you decide to explore the world on your own you don’t have to run around and do nothing, as there are plenty of specific activities that you can try out such as, base jumping or scuba diving. It’s almost impossible to live in a big city without a smartphone so your character in the game gets one. It allows you to contact your friends or browse the internet or some stock markets as well as change settings, play your favorite music order a car in case you need a means of transport.

Your characters, your world

You are placed in San Andreas, an area inspired by real-life Southern California, comprising of Los Santos, and a rural area of Blaine County where you will spend your time working, taking part in the crime and gaining skills and contacts. The money you earn during the game allows you to customize your characters by purchasing clothes, haircuts, tattoos, and accessories. Additionally, you can spend your funds on cars, upgrades, weapons, visiting clubs, and real estate, as you can become the owner of a number of buildings serving either as houses but also as garages or businesses.

Multiplayer

GTA Online allows you to create your own character by customizing it in a character creation menu and join servers of up to 30 players. Playing together with your friends or other people online allows you to partake not only in the standard to the single-player free roam but also certain jobs and a number of missions in which you can cooperate or compete to achieve certain goals. Advanced tools created by the developers allow players to customize and create custom quests giving the game a much larger variety of activities to complete.
