Grand Theft Auto is the first game in the Grand Theft Auto series and a sandbox-crime game published by Rockstar Games. The original Grand Theft Auto is made up of a series of levels each set in one of the three cities in the game. In each level, the player has a target number of points to achieve, and five lives to attain the score. The score counter doubles as a money meter; the player can spend this money on paint jobs and various other things. However, any money spent is of course taken away from the score, making the goal that little bit further away. On obtaining the target number of points, the player must then drive to a certain location to complete the level, which allows progress to the next one.

Should I stream Grand Theft Auto on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 2 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The two English streams here hold all 2 English viewers — once you take them out there is nothing left to reach.

The two English streams here hold all 2 English viewers between them. Take them out and nothing is left to reach.

Only 2 of the 12 viewers here (17%) are watching in English. 2 of the 6 live streams are in English.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Where to buy

All plain links straight to the official stores. Some will become affiliate links later, and they’ll be marked with a ♥ when they are — you’ll always be able to tell, and the unmarked ones will always be there.

How many people stream Grand Theft Auto?

Right now

6 right now, to 12 viewers between them. 2 of them are streaming in English. Counted live from Twitch and refreshed every 15 minutes.

Is Grand Theft Auto too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 6 people are streaming Grand Theft Auto, and the two English streams hold all 2 English viewers between them — so the room is quiet because that audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.
