Trivia

  • Despite the fact that both the in-game statistics and the Social Club say Grand Theft Auto V only has 69 missions, the game actually has 79 main story missions. This was likely done to make the 69 reference. This is also due to the fact that you can not play every mission in one playthrough, as many are dependent on the choices you make.
