What is GTA?

Grand Theft Auto (GTA) is a series of action-packed adventures games created by David Jones and Mike Dailly. Later titles were developed under brothers Dan and Sam Houser, Leslie Benzies and Aaron Garbut. It is primarily developed by British development house Rockstar North (formerly DMA Design), and published by its parent company, Rockstar Games. The name of the series references the term "grand theft auto", used in the United States for motor vehicle theft.

The Gameplay is mainly focused on an open world where the player can complete missions to progress an overall story, as well as engage in various side adventures activities. Most of the gameplay revolves around driving and shooting, killing with occasional role-playing and stealth elements. The games in the Grand Theft Auto series are set in fictional locales modelled after real-life cities, at various points in time from the early 1960s to the 2010s.

 The original game's map is based on three cities—Liberty City (based on New York City), San Andreas (based on San Francisco), and Vice City (based on Miami). The series centres on different protagonists who attempt to rise through the ranks of the criminal underworld, although their motives for doing so vary in each title. Several film and music artists have voiced characters in the games, including Ray Liotta, Dennis Hopper, Samuel L. Jackson, James Woods, Debbie Harry, Axl Rose and Peter Fonda.

DMA Design began the series in 1997, with the release of the Grand Theft Auto. As of 2021, the series consists of seven standalone titles and four expansion packs. The third main title, Grand Theft Auto III, released in 2001, is considered a landmark game, as it brought the series to a three-dimensional (3D) setting and more immersive experience to the players. Subsequent titles have followed and built upon the concept established in Grand Theft Auto III and received significant positive feedback from all users. 

In 2006, Grand Theft Auto was featured in a list of British design icons in the Great British Design Quest organized by the BBC and the Design Museum. In 2013, The Telegraph ranked Grand Theft Auto among Britain's most successful exports. The series has also been controversial for its adult nature and violent themes

The series has been commercially successful, having shipped more than 279 million units with an estimated gross revenue of over $9 billion, making it the fourth-highest selling video game franchise of all time, behind Nintendo's Mario and Pokémon franchises, and Tetris.
