Grand Theft Auto 1 on the PlayStation 1 still turns heads in 2025.

DMA Design’s top-down crime classic laid the foundation for one of gaming’s most legendary franchises. With its open city design, fast cars, and freedom to cause havoc, it was revolutionary for its time. From carjackings and police chases to scoring points through pure chaos, GTA 1 gave players a taste of limitless mayhem. Nearly three decades later, booting it up on Sony’s gray box still sparks that raw retro thrill.

US & UK gamers: this is retro open-world freedom at its very roots, preserved on the PS1.
