What is Grand Theft Auto V like?

In GTA Online you create a criminal in Los Santos and earn money through heists, missions and illegal businesses to buy cars and properties. Heists are multi-part missions where each player has an assigned job.

You can play in a public session with up to 30 players or open an invite-only one for just your crew. For a heist, the leader pays the setup cost at the planning board, the crew plays the setup missions one at a time, and then everyone runs the finale, where the leader sets each player's cut. Most heists take two to four players. Between jobs the group can race in Stunt Races or play Adversary Modes against each other.
