The latest edition, GTA5 has went on to earn over $1 billion in the first three days of release.

Grand Theft Auto (abbreviated as GTA) is a 1997 action-adventure open world video game created by games developer DMA Design (now Rockstar North) and published by BMG Interactive. The game allows the player to take on the role of a criminal who can roam freely around a big city. Various missions are set for completion, such as bank robberies, assassinations, and other crimes. It is the first title in the Grand Theft Auto series, a series that has sold more than 125 million units, as of December 2012. The game was originally intended to be named Race'n'Chase and was nearly cancelled due to production issues.

GTA was succeeded by Grand Theft Auto 2 and both games were made available as a free download by Rockstar Games on their website in 2004, however this service is currently unavailable. The game was made available on Steam on 4 January 2008, but it can only be purchased as part of a collection.
