The verdict
A huge, funny, polished open-world story with a great Los Santos and ray-traced visuals, but GTA Online is hurt by cheaters, grind and nerfed heists. Rockstar account lockouts add risk.
Great for
Story-mode and open-world sandbox fans, and Online players who stick to friends or private lobbies on Windows
Main risk
Rockstar account/launcher lockouts, kernel anti-cheat, and a cheater-filled, nerfed Online
What changed in the last 30 days
146 recent reviews
Many recent negatives cite the latest update nerfing heist payouts and Rockstar account lockouts. Older reviews mostly focus on cheaters and anti-cheat. Fairly confident, as many recent reviews repeat it.
