Grand Theft Auto: London 1969

Players take a top-down view of London streets, accepting and completing crime jobs such as pickups, getaways, chases, and sabotage. Driving is central, with a range of British vehicles and a map that encourages learning shortcuts through the city’s three districts. Missions are replayed on failure, and progression is based on clearing a chain of objective-driven stages that reward route planning, vehicle control, and police evasion.

The Assassin

One of the playable protagonists, carrying out the mission chain.

Johnny Zweimuller

A key contact associated with the London chapter who gives out jobs.

Learn the layout of the three districts early so you can avoid getting boxed in by police. Before starting a tough mission, plan an escape route and keep a fast, easy-to-handle car nearby. When a target must be rammed or destroyed, use corners, narrow alleys, and traffic congestion to your advantage.

Tips and tricks

• Use side streets to break police pursuit lines.
• Clear nearby cars before high-risk missions to avoid being trapped on departure.
• Keep your vehicle pointed toward the main road so you can escape quickly after the objective is done.
