Grand Theft Auto is an open world action-adventure video game series created byDavid Jones and Mike Dailly;[3] the later titles of which were created by brothers Dan andSam Houser, Leslie Benzies and Aaron Garbut. It is primarily developed by Rockstar North (formerly DMA Design), and published by Rockstar Games. The name of the series references the term used in the US for motor vehicle theft.

Most games in the series are set in fictional locales modelled on American cities, usually either Liberty City, Vice City, or San Andreas, which are stand-ins for New York City, Miami, and the state of California, respectively. The first game encompassed three fictional cities, while subsequent titles tend to emphasise a single city and its outlying areas. Gameplayfocuses on an open world where the player can choose missions to progress an overall story, as well as engaging in side activities, all consisting of action-adventure, driving, third-person shooting, occasional role-playing,stealth, and racing elements. The series also has elements of the earlier beat ’em upgames from the 16-bit era. The series has gained controversy for its adult nature andviolent themes. The series focuses around many different protagonists who attempt to rise through the ranks of the criminal underworld, although their motives for doing so vary in each game. The antagonists are commonly characters who have betrayed the protagonist or his organisation, or characters who have the most impact impeding the protagonist’s progress. The series contains satire and humour.[4]

British video game developer DMA Designbegan the series in 1997. As of 2014, it has eleven stand-alone games and fourexpansion packs. The third chronological title,Grand Theft Auto III, was widely acclaimed, as it brought the series to a 3D setting and more immersive experience, and is considered a landmark title that has subsequently influenced many other open world action games and led to the label “Grand Theft Autoclone” on similar games. Subsequent titles would follow and build upon the concept established in Grand Theft Auto III and the series has continued receiving significant acclaim ever since. Film and music veterans have voiced characters, including Ray Liotta,Burt Reynolds, Dennis Hopper, Samuel L. Jackson, Debbie Harry, Phil Collins, Axl Rose, and Peter Fonda.[5] The series has been critically acclaimed and commercially successful, having shipped more than 235 million units, as of September 2015.[6] The Telegraph ranked the GTA series among Britain’s most successful exports.[4]
