96 free Gta V trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Grand Theft Auto V made $815 million in its first day, broke seven Guinness World Records in one go, and is still selling more than a decade after its 2013 release, with over 230 million copies shipped. It gave the series three protagonists, a San Andreas modelled on real California census data, a Tangerine Dream score and an online mode that became a business of its own. These 96 questions cover the game from every angle: Michael, Franklin and Trevor and the actors behind them, the Ludendorff prologue, the FIB and IAA, Lester, Devin Weston and the Union Depository, special abilities and the wanted system, Rockstar North's thousand-person team, the RAGE engine, the radio stations, the Epsilon Program marketing, the PC and next-gen re-releases, GTA Online's launch stimulus and heists, the sales records, the Famitsu score and the lawsuits and retail bans. Easy questions stick to the setting and the trio; the hard tier asks about dates, budgets and award names. Every answer is cited to a page we checked, with a short explanation that adds one more fact. Play it solo or print it for a gaming quiz night.

Rockstar North
Rockstar North: the Edinburgh studio began in Dundee as DMA Design, where it made the cute puzzle hit Lemmings before turning to car theft with the first Grand Theft Auto.

Rottweiler
Rottweiler: Chop officially belongs to a friend, yet he lives with Franklin for most of the story, tagging along for walks, games of fetch and the odd chase.
Q 05Who voices Trevor Philips?
Steven Ogg
Steven Ogg: he gave Trevor far more than a voice, acting out the scenes in a motion-capture suit, so the character's movements and face are his as well.
Q 06In GTA V, what was Michael De Santa's surname before he went into hiding in Los Santos?
Townley
Townley: he swapped the name for De Santa in a secret deal with a federal agent, which left his old partner Trevor believing for nine years that he was dead.
Q 07In GTA V, what do Michael and Franklin rob in their first heist together?
A jewellery store
A jewellery store: the pair hit Vangelico to pay off a drug lord whose house Michael wrecked, and the player chooses between gassing the staff through a vent or going in loud.
Q 08In which town does GTA V's 2004 prologue heist go wrong?
Ludendorff, North Yankton
Ludendorff, North Yankton: Michael is presumed dead after the botched robbery, and his accomplice Brad ends up buried in the grave that carries Michael's name.
Q 09In GTA V, the IAA is a parody of which real US agency?

Q 13In GTA V, slipping unseen into which business instantly wipes a wanted level?
Los Santos Customs
Los Santos Customs: the garages take over from the Pay 'n' Spray shops of earlier games, and their doors stay shut if a patrol sees you coming, so you have to shake the police first.
Q 21The actor behind one of GTA V's lead characters is a cousin of the man who voiced which earlier GTA hero?

Q 22What is the name of Rockstar's proprietary game engine used for GTA V?

Q 16In GTA V's finale, which option lets Franklin spare both Michael and Trevor?

Deathwish: rather than kill a friend to order, Franklin rallies the whole trio for a last stand, and together they then pick off every enemy who wanted them dead.

Merryweather
Merryweather: the crew steals a prototype superweapon from a ship the firm guards, only for their own planner to make them hand it straight back before the government comes for them.

Stretch
Stretch: he swaggers home as a gang veteran demanding respect, but he made friends among the rival Ballas while inside, and the deals he brings keep ending in gunfire.
Q 19GTA V's focus on heists grew out of 'Three Leaf Clover', a celebrated bank job in which earlier game?

Q 25Which British model voices the DJ of Non-Stop-Pop FM in GTA V?
