20 Must-Play Games Like Grand Theft Auto: Upcoming and Released Titles

by Falagar / Articles, Grand Theft Auto, Top Lists / 24 Sep 2024

Grand Theft Auto sits at the top of the gaming world offering an amazing open-world experience. The series didn’t always feature 3D gameplay. Players viewed the first two games from above, which shared themes like gang fights, cop chases, and mayhem, but these games differ from the later 3D versions. The third game caused a revolution in open-world gaming and turned GTA into a fan favorite. Vice City and San Andreas became massive hits in their day, while GTA 4 told a grim true-to-life story that stood out.

With the fifth game, it grew into one of the most popular games worldwide with GTA Online (even though cheaters can be a pain…). Few games can compete with GTA; none come close because of the technology, team, and hard work behind it. Yet, some similar games exist. In this piece, we’ll show you 20 games like GTA, both coming soon and already out. You can watch our video of GTA-inspired games below and click the game titles to visit their Steam pages!
