Way back in 2013,Grand Theft Auto Onlinewent live on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game was later ported to the PlayStation 4, PlayStaton 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and the PC. Despite having launched nearly 9 years ago,Grand Theft Auto Onlinestill maintains a strong player base with gamers who continue to have bizarre interactions with one another to this day.
The worlds ofGrand Theft Autoalways have unexpected surprises in them. Even back in the days ofGrand Theft Auto: Vice City, NPCs would sometimes walk up to the player and steal their car from them before driving off, leaving the player angry and confused. That AI quirk has continued well into the modern games, and players often share their bizarre NPC encounters online. In one instance, for example, a valetsnapped and stole a bus from aGrand Theft Auto Onlineplayer at the Diamond Casino and Resort. However, the strangest interactions often come with other real life players.
