How to Play the GTA Games in Order

With over 16 Grand Theft Auto games since the franchise began in 1997, new players are probably wondering where to start. To help you get stuck in, we’ve listed every GTA game in chronological order so you can plot the best route through the timeline of this crime-riddled world. As confirmed by Rockstar back in 2011, the GTA series is split into three unique timelines: the 2D timeline, the 3D timeline and the HD timeline. Although events in these timelines might be similar or even identical, Rockstar doesn’t consider all of them canon to each other. As such, we’ll separate the games into their respective universes. The first being where it all began, the Grand Theft Auto 2D Timeline. This is how to play the entire Grand Theft Auto series in order. Which one are you most excited about revisiting before GTA 6? #IGN #GrandTheftAuto #GTA
