The story

The game that changed everything

Before GTA III, the series was top-down. In 2001, Liberty City went 3D and invented the modern urban sandbox: an open city, a third-person camera, and total freedom to make it all go wrong.

Betrayed in Liberty City

Left for dead by his partner Catalina during a bank robbery, the silent protagonist Claude escapes and works his way up Liberty City's criminal hierarchy: the Leone mafia, the Triads, the Colombian Cartel, the Yakuza. Three islands, Portland, Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale, unlocked one by one.

Everything that defines a modern GTA starts here: stealing any car on sight, following the story or causing chaos, a cult radio dial and a city that runs without you.

The blueprint every open world has copied since.

How to play it in 2026
