GTA Online is known for granting players a lot of freedom which naturally helped it become one of the most popular role-playing experiences in history. Its player count in 2023 is still up there with the likes of Overwatch 2 and Genshin Impact.

GTA Online hands out enough opportunities to players to personalize their vehicles and characters, try out new playstyles, take up jobs, become taxi drivers, and complete missions.
