It is the first instalment of the "Grand Theft Auto" series, to be followed by 1999's "Grand Theft Auto 2". The series, which has led to five main entries and several special edition games over 16 years, has sold more than 150 million units as of September 2013. The story follows a group of criminals in three fictionalised versions of US cities as they perform bank robberies, assassinations, and other illegal activities for their respective crime syndicates.
Music of Grand Theft Auto V
The game's music has been released on three official soundtracks: "The Music of Grand Theft Auto V", released alongside the initial launch of the game, consists of three volumes comprising the score, and selections from the in-game radio; "The Cinematographic Score — GTA 5", an electronic album released in March 2014, comprises tracks composed and produced by Tangerine Dream founder Edgar Froese; and "Welcome to Los Santos", released with the Microsoft Windows version of the game, features songs from the in-game radio station "The Lab", produced by The Alchemist and Oh No. Critical reception to the soundtracks was positive, as reviewers felt that the music connected appropriately with the gameplay.
