Specifications come from published manufacturer and retail specification sheets. Gaming accessories are sold in several versions with different colours, model codes and platform labels, so please ask our team to confirm the exact model, colour and version in stock before you pay.

What's in the box

What Grand Theft Auto V is

Grand Theft Auto V, often called GTA 5 or GTA V, was first released by Rockstar Games in 2013, with an improved version for the Xbox One in 2014. It is set in Los Santos, a large fictional city and countryside inspired by southern California. People who search for "GTA 5 Xbox One Kenya" or "Grand Theft Auto V Xbox One" are looking for one of the most popular games ever made.

The game has two parts. The first is the story, which you play alone. The second is Grand Theft Auto Online, a separate multiplayer mode where you build your own character and share the city with other players.

Three heroes, one story

The story follows three very different criminals: Michael, a retired bank robber who is bored with his life, Franklin, a young man who wants more than street work, and Trevor, a violent and unpredictable partner from Michael's past. You can switch between them at almost any time, which lets you see the city from three perspectives.

The heists are the highlights. You plan a robbery, choose a crew and then carry it out, with each character playing a role. The story is dark, funny and satirical, and it is made for adults.

The world of Los Santos

Los Santos is a huge map with a busy city, beaches, mountains, desert and farmland. You can drive cars and motorbikes, fly planes and helicopters, swim, hike, cycle, play golf or tennis, go to the cinema and much more. The world is full of side activities, so even after you finish the story, there is plenty to do.

The city has a day and night cycle, weather and traffic that make it feel alive. Many players enjoy simply driving around with the radio on, because the radio stations are packed with music and humour.

Grand Theft Auto Online

Grand Theft Auto Online is a separate mode that lets you create a character, earn money, buy property and vehicles, and join missions and events with other players. Online play needs an internet connection and, on Xbox, generally an online subscription. Rockstar has changed this mode over the years, and its content can change, so we cannot promise a specific feature. Treat the story as the main reason to buy, and the online mode as a bonus.

The online mode includes contact with other players. Parents should supervise younger players and use Xbox family settings.

How the game plays

You control a character on foot or in a vehicle. Shooting uses a cover and aiming system, driving is arcade-like, and a mission system leads you through the story. The game is easy to learn, though some missions are challenging. A progress system tracks your skills, so that driving or shooting improves with use.

The game has a lot of crude humour, violence and strong language. It is designed for adults and does not try to be gentle.

Is it suitable for children?

No. GTA V carries a mature rating on the case. It contains strong violence, strong language, drug use and adult themes, and it is not suitable for children. Parents who see a child asking for this game should check the rating and use Xbox family settings. Adults who enjoy crime stories and dark humour will find a huge amount to enjoy.

Make sure it is the Xbox One edition

GTA V was released first on the Xbox 360 and then in an improved version for the Xbox One. Please make sure you buy the Xbox One edition if you own an Xbox One or an Xbox Series console. A disc made only for the Xbox 360 may not run on newer consoles. We confirm that the stock is the Xbox One edition before you pay, and we will tell you if it is not.

A Series S has no disc drive, so a disc will not play on it. If you own a Series S, ask us for a digital option.

Install size and storage

GTA V is a large game, and it needs a good amount of free space on your console. Check your free storage before you buy, and expect updates to download after you install. If your console is nearly full, you may need to delete other games first. Keep the console on a surge-protected extension, because a power cut during a save can corrupt progress.

Getting started: your first hours

Play the opening missions and take the time to learn the controls. Try each character, and notice how their special abilities differ. Michael can slow time during shootouts, Franklin can slow time while driving, and Trevor can enter a rage mode. Use them at the right moments.

After the first hours, you are free to explore. Visit stores, buy a car, try a side activity and see where the city takes you. Save your game regularly.

Common questions before buying

Is this the Xbox One version? We confirm that the stock is the Xbox One edition before you pay.

Can I play it on Xbox Series X and S? Yes, an Xbox One game normally plays on Series X and S. A Series S cannot read discs, so a digital copy is needed there.

Do I need Xbox online? Not for the story. Grand Theft Auto Online generally needs a subscription.

Is it suitable for children? No. It has a mature rating, so check the case.

Is it a disc or a digital code? We confirm this for the specific unit before you pay.

How long is the story? It takes many hours, and the side activities add many more.

Questions we hear often about Xbox games in Kenya

• Is it safe to buy a game from a shop in town? It is safe if you buy from a seller who shows you the item, gives you a receipt and explains the terms. We tell you whether the stock is a disc or a digital code, and which edition, before you pay.

• Will this game work on my Xbox? That depends on your console and on the edition. Tell us whether you own an Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Series X or Series S, and we will confirm. A Series S has no disc drive, so a disc will not play on it.

• Do you deliver in Nairobi and outside? Yes. Orders confirmed before 3pm are delivered the same day in Nairobi, and outside Nairobi we deliver by courier, typically 1 to 3 business days after dispatch. The delivery charge is confirmed before you pay, and M-Pesa is accepted.

• Is the game new? We list new items and show you the sealed pack. If a pack looks opened or damaged, tell us before you pay.

• Can you recommend what else I need? Tell us your console, your storage space and your budget. We would rather recommend one good game than sell you several you will not finish.

Ordering from City Gadgets Kenya

Tell us your console and whether you want a disc or a digital copy, and we will confirm the edition and the format in stock. We can arrange same-day delivery in Nairobi for orders confirmed before 3pm, and M-Pesa is accepted.

Call or WhatsApp our sales team on 0745 575 931, or visit the shop at New Alnoor Exhibition, Shop 7, Second Floor, Taveta Road, Nairobi CBD, if you would like to see the game pack before you pay.

Playing sensibly in a shared home

GTA V is an adult game, so decide where and when it will be played. If children share the living room, play after they have gone to bed, or on a separate profile with family settings. Keep the volume at a comfortable level, especially with a headset, and take breaks during long sessions.

Remember that the game is long. You can spend dozens of hours in the story and many more in the side activities and the online mode. Set a time limit for yourself if you have work or school the next day.

If you want a headset for the online mode, our sales team can advise on one that works with your controller.

A word on value and replay

GTA V gives you a long story, dozens of side activities and an online mode, so one purchase can last months. Players often return to it after finishing the story to try activities they skipped. If your household has only one or two games, this is a sensible one to own. Ask our team about the edition and format in stock, and we will answer honestly.

Final buying notes

Before you order Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox One), take a minute to think about whether the game is the Xbox One edition and whether everyone who will play is old enough. If you are unsure, call or WhatsApp our sales team on 0745 575 931 with the model of your Xbox and what you like to play, and we will tell you honestly whether this game suits you.

We would rather lose a sale than sell you something that does not suit your setup. We let you inspect the pack, and we confirm any detail that is not published, such as the format and the edition, before you pay.

You can visit the shop at New Alnoor Exhibition, Shop 7, Second Floor, Taveta Road, Nairobi CBD, or we can arrange same-day delivery in Nairobi for orders confirmed before 3pm.

Playing Xbox games in a Kenyan home

Most Xbox owners in Kenya play on a console in a sitting room or bedroom, often shared by family members of different ages. A few practical habits make the experience better. Plug the console into a surge-protected extension, because Kenya's power can spike when it returns after an outage, and keep the console where air can flow around it, never in a closed cabinet. Dust is a constant, so wipe the console and controller with a dry cloth and keep discs in their cases.

Games take space. Many modern games are tens of gigabytes, and an older game can still receive large updates. If your console is almost full, delete finished games and keep only those you play. A game you delete can be installed again later, as long as you have the disc or the licence, and your saved progress is kept on the console or in the cloud when you are signed in to your Xbox account.

Which Xbox does this game play on?

Xbox games are made for particular generations of console, and it helps to know yours. The Xbox One family includes the original Xbox One, the Xbox One S and the Xbox One X. The Xbox Series family includes the Series X, which has a disc drive, and the Series S, which has no disc drive. Many Xbox One games also run on the Series consoles through backward compatibility, and some run better there. Games made for the Xbox 360 and the original Xbox are a separate matter, and only some of them run on newer consoles.

The most important practical point is the disc drive. A Series S cannot read discs at all, so a disc version of a game is useless on a Series S, and you would need a digital version instead. If you own a Series S, tell us before you buy. If you own a Series X, an Xbox One S or an original Xbox One, discs work, subject to the compatibility listed on this page.

We list each game for the platform named on its page. Whether the item in stock is a disc or a digital code, and which edition, is confirmed per unit, so ask us before you pay and we will tell you plainly.

Online play, updates and your Xbox account

Some features need an internet connection. Online multiplayer on Xbox normally needs an Xbox account and, for most online multiplayer games, an active Xbox online subscription. Updates and patches download over your home connection. In Kenya, a fixed home fibre or a stable router connection is better than mobile data for large downloads, and you should check your data bundle before you start a large update.

Keep your account details private. Never share your password with a seller or a stranger. We do not need your account password to sell you a game, and you should be cautious about anyone who asks for it.

Age ratings and family settings

Games carry age ratings, such as ESRB and PEGI ratings, which guide whether a game suits a child. A rating is a general guide and does not replace a parent's judgement. Xbox has family settings that let a parent set age limits for games, set screen-time limits and manage spending. If children play on your console, take ten minutes to set up a child account, and talk with them about online safety, including not sharing personal details and what to do if a stranger is rude.

How to check your game when it is delivered

1. Inspect the packaging for damage before you sign. A disc game should be in a clean case with an unscratched disc.
2. Check that the title, the platform logo and the edition match what we confirmed with you.
3. If it is a disc, look at the disc surface for scratches, and check that the case includes the disc and any inserts we confirmed.
4. If it is a digital code, check that the code arrives intact and has not been used, and redeem it on your own account as soon as you can.
5. Install the game on your console and play for a few minutes, so that any problem shows up while you can still tell us.
6. Contact our Customer Relations team on 0794 488 806 straight away if anything is wrong.

How to avoid fake or unsuitable games

Game discs and codes can be copied or sold in the wrong region. Watch for these signs.

• Check the packaging and the print. Blurry artwork, spelling mistakes, a missing platform logo or a missing rating label are warnings.
• Check the disc. A genuine disc has sharp printing and consistent markings. A hand-written or blank disc is not genuine.
• Check the region and language. Some versions may be locked to a region or lack a language you want, so ask us.
• Watch the price. A price far below the market for a recent game is a reason to ask why.
• Be wary of shared accounts. Be careful of any offer to share an account instead of selling you a game of your own, because accounts can be recovered by their owners and you may lose access.
• Buy from a seller with an address. Choose a seller who gives a receipt and explains the warranty, and avoid paying a stranger before you have seen the product.

Warranty and stock

Warranty and return terms for games depend on the format and the seller, and opened games and redeemed codes are generally not returnable unless they are faulty. We confirm the format, the platform and the exact terms in writing for the specific item before you pay, and Customer Relations on 0794 488 806 handles questions after purchase. Keep your receipt and the case.

Compare before you buy

Compared with Red Dead Redemption 2. Both are Rockstar open-world games. GTA V is modern, faster and funnier, while Red Dead 2 is slower and more serious.

Compared with a racing game. A racing game focuses on cars. GTA V includes driving as one of many activities.
