GTA set standards
"Grand Theft Auto" is one of the best-known video game series in the world and was first released in 1997. The special thing about the game is the enormous freedom it offers: the open game world can be freely explored, and there are numerous side quests and activities in addition to the main missions - from sports such as golf or tennis to car racing and leisure activities.
Grand Theft Auto VI is set in a fictional version of the US metropolis of Miami. The trailer released so far features high-speed car rides, fast motorboats, beaches, weapons, crocodiles and many characters, including a protagonist named Lucia.
