The series, developed by Rockstar Games, has been widely acclaimed forits vast open worldthat continues to expand with each new title, the memorable cast of characters, and extremely fun gameplay that always continues to entice players with a wide variety of activities to engage in.
Since the release of the original game in 1997,Grand Theft Autohas continued to evolve over time with its various settings and the characters that players meet along the way. Games like those found inGTA: The Trilogy - The Defintitive Edition, which containsGTA 3,Vice City, andSan Andreas, are cornerstone titles in the franchise for having distinct locales that reflect the story and characters, whether it be the neon vibrancy ofVice Cityor the urban aesthetics ofSan Andreas.

Another factor that makes each title stand out is its use of music. WhileGrand Theft Autois well-known for its various uses of licensed music, and having different artists take part in the game’s soundtrack, like withDr. Dre in the new expansion toGTA Online, the original score for theGrand Theft Autoseries still stands on its own as iconic pieces of music, as shown in this new viral video.
In a video posted to TikTok, user navernoerina displays a concert in which the orchestra is playing an arrangement of music from theGrand Theft Autoseries. Specifically, the piece of music being heard in the video is the main theme forGrand Theft Auto: San Andreas, considered by many fans to be the most popular theme in the series.
This is a really neat video that shows how sophisticated theGrand Theft Autoseries is, and how the music has become a vital and memorable aspect of the series, and also showcases a stellar transition of the game’s distinct sound into orchestra form. Many later games in the series, namelyGrand Theft Auto 4,would go on to employ a full orchestra for many moments in the game, which many fans are hoping will receive a remastered version in the future.
With the announcement thatGrand Theft Auto 6is finally in development, many fans eagerly await to hear more news about the game. With so many distinct sounds for each title in the series, fans are now left to wonder what the musical score would sound like for the next game, and whether an orchestra take could be the next big move.
