When Grand Theft Auto V came out on the last-generation consoles, you could tell that the game was pushing that aging hardware to the limit. A PC release was assumed to be in the cards, but it was difficult to look forward to it without remembering how poorly GTA4's PC version ran at launch. Even people with pretty stout hardware were at the mercy of that iteration's performance issues. That made it all the more surprising to find that the PC version of GTA5 is nearly flawless from a technical standpoint and can now be considered the definitive version of the game.
The GTA 5 Agent Trevor DLC episode could have been a real treat for fans on PlayStation and Xbox, before it was scrubbed sometime before 2017.

Grand Theft Auto V was released on PC on the 14th of April 2015. That means the game will be nine years old in four days, and it’s still among the most-played titles on Steam. With a 24-hour peak of 145K players, it’s as popular as Baldur’s Gate 3, Apex: Legends, and Destiny 2.

To celebrate the formula and parse the best from the best, have a look at the best open-world games of all time so far.
