List of all the Random Events in GTA 5

GTA 5 is the longest game in the Grand Theft Auto series, and it's not just because of the missions. The game has several random encounters, which is a feature that has been carried over from GTA Chinatown Wars.

Random Events in GTA 5 are short missions and encounters that appear randomly across the state of San Andreas. They make the game world feel much more lively and also add replayability value. The outcome of a Random Event in GTA 5 is largely player-dependent.

GTA 5 has a total of 57 Random Events (60 in the Enhanced Edition), and completing any 14 counts towards 100% completion.
