[[Rockstar Games]] divide the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series into three distinct '''universes'''. These universes are completely separate to each other, no characters or storylines can ever pass from one Universe to the next.

[[Rockstar Games]] divide the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series into three distinct '''universes'''. These universes are completely separate to each other, no characters or storylines can ever pass from one Universe to the next with the exception of entertainment, celebrities, radio personalities, vehicles, in-game products, businesses, and some locations.

However it can be argued that all of the stories from the GTA III era, ''could'' have still taken place the [[HD Universe]], however slightly different to accommodate for the different settings. An example of this is the existence of [[Grove St|Grove Street]] and [[Grove Street Families]] in [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. [[Franklin Clinton]] states that the Grove Street set of the Families all died or became rich CEOs a long time ago, a direct reference to the events of [[Grand Theft Auto San Andreas]] twenty years earlier. There are also minor things like [[Niko Bellic]] being able to acquire [[Claude]]'s outfit from [[Playboy X]]'s mansion, however something minor like this can just be considered and [[Easter Egg]].

{{quote|Dan says that no one before GTA IV will be in it – the move to HD created a schism in this fictional universe, rendering CJ, Tony and co, as mythical characters from a bygone era. But will we see stories from the previous game looping into this one? "I think that might be too mannered," says Houser. "Nico had a particular kind of story and we're trying to make this different. We might allude to things from that world, but we didn't want it to feel like, well, here's the opposite of an immigration story – we wanted a fresh take on what it means to be a criminal in this world of hyper-real Americana".|Interview with Dan Houser in [http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2012/nov/12/grand-theft-auto-v-preview-gta-5 The Guardian]}}

*The band [[Love Fist]] appear in [[GTA Vice City]] and [[GTA San Andreas]], indicating the band exists only in the 3D Universe. However, the band's name appears on some artwork for [[GTA V]] in the HD universe. These may be the only characters to cross over between Universes.
