The list of GTA series games has become quite long over the years. It has over 15 different games so far, making it one of the longest-running video game franchises in the entertainment industry. The first title in the series was released in the late 1990s by DMA Design, now known as Rockstar Games. The next title Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to launch by the developers on May 26, 2026. Naturally, fans would want to play every GTA game in order before the next game comes out.
While streamlined titles like Grand Theft Auto 5 are the most popular ones, other games in the series often get missed by many. That's why knowing the complete list of GTA series games could be quite useful, along with the release dates in chronological order.
