GTA 5 missions: Full list of main story missions
There's a nice number of story missions to be getting on with.
If you’re just getting into Grand Theft Auto V (where have you been?) and want to know how far along you are in its main story or how long you’ve got left to go, you’ll need to know what the full list of GTA 5 missions is.
While you can while away many an hour patrolling the streets, playing golf, and getting up to all sorts of other nonsense in Rockstar’s classic, you’ll need to complete the game’s main story if you want to discover what happens to Michael, Franklin, and Trevor.
