With new video game releases coming out every day, players have never had more options for how to spend their free time gaming. Though there’s a wealth of choice in new releases, some of the most popular games today have been out for two, five, or even ten years. Despite their popularity, some players wonder if these older games are worth getting into in 2022.

Looking to start playing Grand Theft Auto V, and wondering if it’s worth it in 2022? We’ve gone ahead and listed why Grand Theft Auto V should or shouldn’t be played in 2022 for both new players and returning fans in this guide. 

Is GTA V worth it for new players in 2022? 

Despite its age, Grand Theft Auto V remains one of the most popular online games at the moment. Grand Theft Auto V still sees thousands of online players every day, and still reports huge profits from in-game purchases and Shark Cards.

GTA V is no stranger to updates. Special events and limited time boosts incentivize players to take on the countless number of events available to players in-game. It seems there are new cars to collect every week, and players can earn and spend millions of in-game dollars on things like houses, guns, and even private jets.

Is GTA V worth it for returning players in 2022?

If you’ve done everything in GTA V, it’s hard to recommend returning. While there are frequently new events breathing some life into the aging game, many of these are simply incentives to replay content you may have conquered a hundred times over.

However, the modding community for GTA V has opened a whole new aspect to the game. Incredibly popular on Twitch, GTA RP servers give players the chance to play a totally different game while making use of GTA V’s extensive simulation capabilities. If this is something that sounds interesting to you, GTA V might be worth coming back to.

While this guide has pointed out several reasons to play Grand Theft Auto V, only you can decide if it’s worth it. If you found this guide helpful, be sure to check out the rest of our website for more Try Hard Guides.
