What city is GTA 5 based on?
GTA 5 is based on Los Santos, which is a fictional city, but it's heavily inspired by Los Angeles. Think of it like Los Angeles but with even more chaos and a lot fewer traffic rules.

It's Los Santos, but don't expect a street-by-street replica of LA. Rockstar took some creative liberties, but the vibe? Spot on.
Los Santos dude, it's basically virtual LA. You've got the Vinewood sign instead of Hollywood and loads of other places that'll feel super familiar if you've ever visited or seen pics of LA.
Los Santos. It's not a 1:1 map of LA, but the inspiration is clear. From the beaches to the traffic jams, it's LA in spirit.
