Grand Theft Auto 2 (abbreviated as GTA2) is a video game that was released worldwide on October 25, 1999, by developer DMA Design (now Rockstar North); initially for the Windows operating system and the PlayStation console. GTA 2 is set in an unspecified time in a retro-futuristic metropolis referred to only as "Anywhere, USA", but the game's manual and website uses the phrase "three weeks into the future"; fictional journal entries on the GTA2 website suggest the year to be 2013.
