This game had two exclusive DLC contents called The Lost and Dams and The Ballad of Gaytones which expanded the story even more.

10. Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars

 Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars has a very different presentation from the previous games in the series by partially resembling the first Grand Theft Auto titles. Instead of a ground level view behind the protagonist or a top-down perspective, Chinatown wars uses a fully rotated camera angled down at the action. Unlike Grand Theft Auto Four, the player can disable as many police cars as possible to escape the police instead of leaving a wanted zone. The more stars the player has, the more police they have to take out for each level. For example, for a six-star level, they have to take out six police cars to get down to a five star one level and so on. There is also a dealing subplot which allows players to sell contraband around the city. Players can profit by recognizing market conditions and demands based on geography and playing their wears accordingly.This game was made mostly for PSP, iPhone, Android and Nintendo DS, which explains its top-down perspective.

11. Grand Theft Auto V

 In 2013, Grand Theft Auto V was released and it's the most graphically advanced game so far in the saga. It still uses Rage graphics engine and it does a great job at simulating traffic, several types of weather vehicles and more. It also has the option of having first or third person camera and you can unlock the map by progressing your mission. Each of them has a different set of skills to help you improve several experience points. Once you reach enough progress, you can start changing characters. This was one of the most successful titles of the saga, selling over $800 million just on its first day. It's the third most popular game of all time, selling over 110,000,000 copies as of 2020.

 In late  2013, the online mode was released, increasing its popularity even more. You can now use your money to acquire a luxury apartment, a garage of expensive cars and a fleet of planes. The experience was so detailed, you could even get insurance for your cars and a mechanic to deliver them to you. At first, you could only play a handful of minigamestarter people, including rock, paper, scissors, car races and team deathmatch. But Grand Theft Auto online allowed people to make their own custom games. And now we're here. It's 2022, and GTA has one of the most dedicated gaming fan bases around.
