Released in 2013, GTA Online was developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. The Grand Theft Auto franchise is set in fictional cities, and is known for having players complete “jobs”, steal cars, and participate in criminal activities. GTA Online allows players to explore the city of San Andreas and interact with other players. They can also customize their protagonist, complete missions, and purchase buildings to create a unique online experience.
Once an arcade has been purchased, players can also purchase arcade games to add to it. Minigames are found in houses, bars, shops, and restaurants in the GTA franchise. There are 17 different retro arcade games that can be played in Grand Theft Auto Online. They are all parodies of other popular games or genres. Players can compete to get their names on the high score list, which will be visible on every console of the same game. They can also win rewards or trophies from completing challenges.
