Don’t forget to try these things after beating GTA 5, as the action-adventure game offers so much to discover and witness beyond the main story.
GTA 5 (or Grand Theft Auto V) is widely regarded as one of Rockstar Games’ greatest achievements to date. Released in 2013, the action-adventure game sold over 205 million copies and remains the second best-selling video game of all time, after Minecraft. As a result of the monumental success of GTA 5, its successor, Grand Theft Auto VI, has set expectations that no game has ever achieved.
Rockstar Games made a revolution with GTA 5 by adding new features and mechanisms with so much detail in crafting the open world of Los Santos. Before stepping into GTA 6, which is planned for 2025, let’s revisit GTA 5 once again and discuss some of the coolest things that you can do in-game after completing the main story of GTA 5. Although GTA Online offers an incredible way to continue the legend of Los Santos, this list focuses exclusively on the in-game features and experiences available in GTA 5.

1) Witness All the Endings
GTA 5’s climax ends with multiple endings, offering three different ways for players to end the story. Rockstar Games allows players to decide the fate of three protagonists—Michael, Franklin, and Trevor—with three possible endings: Kill Trevor, Kill Michael, and Deathwish.
So, if you have chosen one option during the climax, you are still left with two more to witness. Replay the final mission and choose the alternate options to experience two more different endings for your protagonists.
2) Experience the Open World in First-Person-Perspective
Did you know you can switch between a third-person perspective and a first-person perspective during your playthrough? If you missed the FPP experience, then this is your time.
Switch to FPP to experience the richness of Los Santos from another perspective. Although completing the story in TPP is iconic and legendary, trying out FPP will give a unique experience.
3) Invest in Properties to Get Big Returns
By the end of the game, you are mostly left with abundant money. If you are not sure what to do with all that money, then consider buying properties. There are a total of 16 businesses and 7 garages awaiting you to purchase.
From business centers to nightclubs and car scrapyards, you can own any of these businesses to get big profit returns. However, you need to complete some missions to get profit from some of these.
4) Become Unstoppable with Cheat Codes and Mods
What’s the fun without using cheat codes in GTA? Without cheats, GTA is not GTA. Using cheat codes not only makes you a god in the game but also brings back nostalgic memories. It’s always fun to try out various cheat codes that allow you to achieve anything in the game.
Additionally, you can also be more creative with GTA 5 mods. The mods allow you to try out various possibilities within the game, such as color correction mods, character mods, and much more. However, creating a separate save file is the best option as using cheat codes and mods prevents you from earning all trophies/achievements.
5) Unleash Your Inner-Assassin
Lester offers you some optional missions that require you to take out several VIPs. These missions make you feel like Agent 47 from Hitman. There are a total of 5 missions where you need to take out some important figures who control the stock markets.
As a result, assassinating them has a drastic impact on the stock market and increases the value of several stocks. So, study the stock market and plan your assassination to hit the jackpot with these missions.
6) Purchase and Try All Vehicles
As mentioned earlier, you will be left with abundant money at the end of the game. So, if you are looking for a way to spend all the money, investing in vehicle assets would be another great choice. Although buying vehicles in a game like GTA might seem awkward, it allows you to own vehicles permanently under your name.
What’s the point of stealing cars or bikes from all NPCs when you can build your own collection of luxurious cars and bikes? You can even purchase military jets to show off your impressive vehicle assets collection. Performing cool stunts and driving through streets with your own vehicle adds a unique and satisfying experience to the game.
7) Re-live Your Favorite Missions
GTA 5 features a variety of extraordinary missions, including the iconic Heists missions. The game contains a total of 69 main story missions. However, some of them may feel closer to the heart or boost the dopamine level more than others. Luckily, GTA 5 allows you to replay your favorite missions directly from the menu.
This means that you can revisit and enjoy your favorite missions as many times as you like. Additionally, this provides an opportunity to aim for the tedious ‘Solid Gold, Baby’ trophy, which requires you to get 70 Gold Medals overall from Missions and Strangers and Freaks.
8) Take on All Strangers and Freaks Challenge Missions
Apart from the main story missions, GTA 5 has several optional missions from Strangers and Freaks. These missions randomly pop up from various Strangers and Freaks in the game. There are a total of 58 Strangers and Freaks missions, and you will need to complete 20 to achieve 100 percent completion.
These hilarious and unique missions diverge from the main storyline and require you to do some errands for various Strangers and Freaks all around Los Santos.
9) Hunt for Collectibles, Secrets, and Easter Eggs
GTA and collectibles are always inseparable. The vast open world of Los Santos packs plenty of collectibles, such as action figures, playing cards, signal jammers, movie props, and snowmen.
Collecting them can even unlock a secret mission for you. While on your collectibles hunt, you might stumble upon the hidden secrets and Easter eggs throughout the map. Who knows—you could even encounter aliens, UFOs, Bigfoot, and ghosts.
10) Develop New Hobbies
Beyond the usual action-packed missions and heist-based activities, GTA 5 offers a variety of hobbies and pastimes for the players to enjoy. Completing 42 of these is required to achieve 100 percent completion.
These include visiting the shooting range, playing darts, golf, tennis, and participating in triathlons. Additionally, you can take part in various races, such as street races, off-road races, and sea races.
11) Explore the Stunning Open World of Los Santos
Once you achieve a 100 percent completion rate or try all the above-mentioned things, you can now truly relax and enjoy life in Los Santos. Rockstar Games has meticulously crafted the open world with incredible detail, offering countless possibilities.
The open world is filled with mysteries, secrets, and wonders, with many things waiting to be uncovered. Interact with all NPCs and explore every corner of Los Santos to experience your virtual life to the fullest.
