MANILA, Philippines - Grand Theft Auto V (GTAV) has gone full throttle and garnered seven Guinness World Records, including Best-selling Action-Adventure Video game in 24 hours; Best-selling Video Game in 24 hours; Fastest Entertainment Property to Gross $1B; Fastest Video Game to Gross $1B; Highest Revenue Generated by an Entertainment Product in 24 hours; Most Viewed Trailer for an Action-Adventure Video Game.
GTAV is Rockstar North’s latest epic, touted to be the biggest, most dynamic and most diverse open world ever created; introducing a bold new direction in storytelling, mission-based gameplay and online multiplayer experience. It is distributed in the Philippines by X-Play Online Games, Inc., with its retail partners, Circuit City and Game Xtreme.
Set at the sprawling sun-soaked metropolis of Los Santos, what was once the envy of the Western world is plagued with self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV.
Gamers can experience the exhilaration of GTAV’s exciting and explosive features, including new ways of players to repeatedly jump in and out of the lives of the game’s three lead characters, playing all sides of the game’s interwoven story.
Inside the game, the player can assume the role of three different criminals who work their minds for survival and success — Franklin, a street hustler looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score.
Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.
“All the classic hallmarks of this groundbreaking series will return,†said Allen Amparo, X-Play product manager for packaged goods. “Add in the incredible attention to detail, darkly humorous take on modern culture, and a brand-new, ambitious approach to open world multiplayer, Grand Theft Auto V is going to be one heck of a gaming experience.â€
