GTA 5 was released on PS4 and Xbox One in the middle of November in 2014. GTA 5 on PC is going to be released in the end of January in 2015.
GTA Online is based on the same map as GTA 5. Players may travel around the world and interact with the map and other users from different countries. Every player tries to make his character a unique one. For this purpose players purchase property, vehicles, clothing, aircraft, weapons and other stuff available in the game.
Games zones can be relatively divided into 2 worlds: "open world" and "localized world". In the first case, the shared virtual environment is organized without compliance with predetermined rules and tactics. In the second case, localization of the game world takes place for participants playing verified jobs.
Players partaking in these jobs play in separate sessions and don’t interact with players from the open world. Verified jobs can be organized within one game mode including races, deathmatch, survival missions and other. The number of players involved and the size of the area available to them in these game modes varies depending on the activity and mode itself.
The number of available missions depends on the ranking of individual crews and players. The higher the rank, the more abilities. Users can create their own missions using the developer tools available in the game.
