GTA 5 and GTA Online are worth playing due to their top-tier gameplay, continued online support, and solid story campaign.
Grand Theft Auto 5 turned 11 years old this year, and while an age like that would often fade a game into irrelevancy, GTA 5 continues to stay in the conversation and dominate the mainstream. Whether it is on the Steam player charts or through those split-screen social media reels with gameplay at the bottom, GTA 5 is almost everywhere. So, to answer the question in the title, yes, GTA 5 and GTA Online are still worth playing for the three reasons mentioned below.
Why GTA 5 and GTA Online are Still Worth Visting
1. A Solid Single-Player Campaign
Despite the game’s age, GTA 5’s single-player campaign still doesn’t fail to wow players with its sense of scale and spectacle. As the years have piled on, criticism has been thrown at the game’s writing. While a lot of it is valid, it does not undermine the fact that the game is a perfect time capsule to glimpse into the zeitgeist a decade ago. Cultural references, satire, language, and everything in the game give a glimpse into the time period of its release. This adds to the game’s charm and writing and helps better the dynamic between the three protagonists, making for a ridiculously fun campaign.
2. GTA Online Continues To Thrive
GTA Online, despite all its faults, continues to thrive and succeed in 2024, sporting massive player counts. What helps this is Rockstar’s undying support of the game mode through constant updates. Even now, at the time of writing, GTA Online is due for a winter update, Agents of Sabotage, which is adding new characters and properties for players to interact with. Keep in mind all of this content comes a DECADE after launch. This support ensures that new players have a gold mine of content to sift through while veteran players continue finding new content to play through.
3. It Still Holds Up
GTA 5 was released first on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Despite that, the game continues to hold up to this day in terms of game mechanics and visuals. Its art style complements the game’s visuals, giving it a timeless look. Mechanically, the shooting is still one of the very best in the industry today and is buttery smooth. The driving may feel a little floaty, but its arcade nature only adds to the fun of it. The game is a blast to play, both in single-player and Online.
