The franchise has always provided high-quality open-world gameplay. GTA 5 is arguably the best entry in the franchise, and it continues to enjoy unrivaled success in the gaming industry.

Several months after this video was shown, the game was officially released for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Over a year later, it was released for PC and next-gen consoles, making it even more successful.

The game received extraordinary reception from the industry and won various awards. It was also a record-breaking launch for Rockstar Games, with GTA 5 having sold over 180 million units to date.
