Play Grand Theft Auto 3 (GTA III) in Browser
Experience the complete, unadulterated classic Grand Theft Auto 3 (GTA III) running directly in your web browser. Originally published by Rockstar Games in 2001, GTA 3 revolutionized the open-world action genre with its groundbreaking 3D sandbox design, living city ecosystem, and cinematic narrative. Through the power of modern WebAssembly (Wasm), you can now enjoy the full Liberty City experience online with zero downloads, no emulators, and no installations required.
The story follows Claude, a silent criminal betrayed and left for dead by his ruthless girlfriend Catalina during a bank heist in Liberty City. After escaping from a police prison transport, Claude plunges headfirst into the city's corrupt underworld—taking high-stakes jobs for the Leone Mafia, the Yakuza, dirty cops, and international cartels to exact his revenge.
Cruise freely through all three iconic districts of Liberty City: Portland (the gritty industrial docks), Staunton Island (the towering commercial financial district), and Shoreside Vale (the suburban mansions and airport). Steal sports cars, outrun police squads in high-speed 6-star chases, tune into unforgettable authentic radio stations like Flashback FM and Head Radio, and conquer non-linear missions at your own pace.
