About
Michael, Franklin and Trevor pull heists across Los Santos, and you can swap between them almost whenever you like. The story takes around 30 hours. The game came out back in 2013, and Take-Two puts its sales at 225 million copies.
GTA Online comes with it: a shared world of heists, businesses and races. Take-Two says it will keep supporting that after GTA 6 arrives, so buying now isn’t money thrown away, especially since the new game has no PC version yet.
PC has two versions, the older Legacy and Enhanced with improved graphics, released in March 2025. There’s no reason to pay full price. On Steam, Enhanced hit 50% off in 20 of the 21 months from March 2025 to November 2026, as the when to buy block shows. Clear some disk space first: it needs 125 GB. We look at when the next one is due in our piece on GTA 5 sales.
