If you're craving a GTA-like experience while waiting for GTA 6, you're in the right place. With its 2025 release date being in discussion and excitement building after the trailer drop, many players are looking for similar open-world action games to fill the gap. Below, we've rounded up some great alternatives to play until GTA 6 arrives.
4 Games Like GTA You Need To Play
‘Red Dead Redemption 2’
‘Red Dead Redemption 2’ offers a GTA-like experience but transports you to the Wild West, replacing modern criminals with cowboys, outlaws, and gunslingers. Developed by Rockstar Games, it's even rumoured to exist in the same universe as GTA.
With a vast open world, dynamic encounters, and immersive storytelling, ‘RDR2’ lets you explore stunning landscapes on horseback while a reactive soundtrack enhances the atmosphere. Its deep narrative, rich characters, and freedom to roam make it a must-play. The game holds an impressive 9/10 rating on Steam, solidifying its place as one of the best open-world adventures available.
‘Mafia: Definitive Edition’
If you enjoy the criminal underworld aspect of ‘GTA,’ ‘Mafia: Definitive Edition’ is a perfect alternative. Set in the 1930s city of Lost Heaven, the game immerses players in the golden age of organised crime, complete with vintage cars, atmospheric streets, and a gripping narrative. You play as Tommy Angelo, a taxi driver who finds himself drawn into the mafia, rising through the ranks of a powerful crime family.
Part of the larger Mafia franchise, this remake of the original game offers a fully reimagined experience, while Mafia II and Mafia III continue the saga with rich storytelling and open-world gameplay. Mafia III, in particular, is the closest to a ‘GTA-style’ experience, with its crime empire-building mechanics. With a 9/10 rating on Steam, ‘Mafia: Definitive Edition’ is a must-play for fans of story-driven crime games.
‘Yakuza: Like a Dragon’
‘Yakuza: Like a Dragon’ offers a quirky yet gripping open-world experience, packed with mini-games, hilarious side quests, and a deeply emotional storyline, much like GTA. You step into the shoes of Ichiban Kasuga, a low-ranking Yakuza member caught in a web of betrayal, unexpected twists, and dark humour.

Unlike traditional Yakuza games, Like a Dragon features turn-based combat, which may or may not suit your playstyle. If you prefer fast-paced, real-time action, ‘Yakuza 0’ is a great alternative, offering intense brawler-style combat. With a 9/10 rating on Steam, ‘Yakuza: Like a Dragon’ delivers an unforgettable mix of crime, chaos, and comedy.
‘Mad Max’
‘Mad Max’ is a hidden gem among movie tie-in games, delivering an action-packed, open-world experience that captures the gritty, post-apocalyptic essence of the franchise. Even if you haven't seen ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ or ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,’ the game stands strong on its own.
Set in a harsh, barren wasteland, you will spend most of your time customising and battling in your combat vehicle, engaging in brutal melee fights, and exploring the lawless desert. With a 9/10 rating on Steam, ‘Mad Max’ is an underrated title that offers thrilling vehicular combat and a gripping survival experience.
