Grand Theft Auto V has three possible endings that you can choose from, each with significantly different outcomes for the GTA 5 last mission.
It has been confirmed that Ending C (Deathwish) isthe canon ending of GTA V, and it's recommended to choose it if you don't want to lose access to one of the main characters.

The following are theGTA V's Assassination Missions given by Lester Crest to Franklin. Only the first ("The Hotel Assassination") is required for story progression, which is why it's also listed as a main story mission above.
The other four Assassinations are optional, and it's strongly advised to play them after finishing the main storyline, in order to make the most profit out of the stock market investment.
1. The Hotel AssassinationLester asks Franklin to take down Brett Lowrey, CEO of Bilkinton Research, who is staying at the Von Crastenburg Hotel.2. The Multi Target AssassinationLester tasks Franklin to take down four corrupt jurors that are planning to throw a class-action lawsuit against Redwood Cigarettes.3. The Vice AssassinationFranklin must find and kill Jackson Skinner, the head of product development at Facade.4. The Bus AssassinationLester asks Franklin to assassinate a man called Isaac Penny, who is about to take a controlling share in the Vapid Motor Company.5. The Construction AssassinationIn the last Assassination, Lester tells Franklin to take down Enzo Bonelli, a mafia member turned real estate developer.Note:Even thoughLester's Assassination Missionsareoptional (not required for story progression), they're still counted under the main "Missions" checklist, and they're still needed for 100% completion of the game.
How many missions are in GTA 5?
Despite the GTA V in-game statistics stating that the game has 69 missions, there are actually many more missions available, with branching paths and three possible endings.
There are actually 83 available story missions in total in GTA 5, which youcan find all listed on this page. However, due to the branching nature of Heist approaches, only74 missionsare played in a single playthrough, while the others can be accessed by selecting different paths.
So why does the game's checklist show "only" 69 missions instead of 74? Well, Rockstar has decided to not include the"Fire Truck" and "BZ Gas Grenades" heist setups in their listing, and they also don't count the 3 optional "Family Missions" that Micheal can do. This is probably so they could make a reference to the "69" number on purpose, in typical Rockstar fashion.
What do Mission Icon Colors mean in GTA 5?
Since GTA V features three playable protagonists, the game indicates with unique colors on the map the missions that can be started by the different characters:
- A blue icon on the map shows missions that can be started by Michael
- A green icon on the map shows missions that can be started by Franklin
- An orange icon on the map icon shows missions that can be started by Trevor
- If you see a question mark on the map, it's a side mission.
You can also see the number of missions currently available for each protagonist when switching between them via theCharacter Wheel.
How to Replay Missions in GTA 5
Grand Theft Auto V features mission scoring, with specific objectives (such as time, damage, accuracy, etc.) required to achieve theGold Medal in a mission.
Just completing a mission will give you a Bronze Medal by default.You earn a Silver Medal by meeting at least one objective, but you must complete 100% of the objectives to earn a Gold Medal.
To improve your score, you can replay the missions you already completed,by accessing the Pause Menu and going to the "Game" tab.
It's important to note that you can complete each Gold Medal requirement in multiple playthroughs of the mission - you don't need to obtain them all in one single playthrough.
Earning at least 70 Gold Medals between Missions and Strangers & Freaks is required for the"Solid Gold, Baby!" Achievement / Trophy.
How to Play All Endings in GTA 5
If you would like to play all three endings in Grand Theft Auto V in a single playthrough, and experience what each ending has to offer, the game allows you to do so.
After completing one of the endings,you will find the ability to play the two other endings by accessing the Pause Menu, going to "Game" > Replay Mission", and scrolling all the way to the bottom.
However, this won't change the original choice you made during the course of the playthrough.
If you're unsure on what ending to choose, it's advised to firstmake a save in a separate slot after completing "The Big Score" mission. At this point, you are free to experiment with choosing and playing any of the three endings, knowing that you always have a previously saved game that you can return to choose a different ending.
Unless you want to lose access to Michael or Trevor after the end of the story, we strongly recommend choosingEnding C (Deathwish), as that's also been confirmed to be the canon ending of the game.
More GTA 5 Side Missions
In addition to the main GTA 5 Story Mode, GTA V also features other optional side missions and activities that can be played.
These include , which involve interesting characters that Michael, Franklin, or Trevor can encounter outside the main story.
There are also many and Random Events that you can take part in if you want to fully complete the game.
