Top 5 fastest GTA 5 speedrunners as of May 2021

Speedrunning is the completion of a video game in the fastest time possible, usually in a single sitting and is gaining popularity in GTA 5 on YouTube.

It is gaining more and more popularity as a lot of gamers attempt to break each other’s records, and it is not limited to a few games as different types of genres are becoming popular choices for speedrunning. GTA 5 speedrunning is noticeably difficult as compared to other game genres, where the game code can be manipulated to skip unnecessary sections.

This list is based on the latest leaderboards in the 100% Classic category. The rules for this category include the completion of the 100% checklist in-game, and additional limitations like no fast travel via taxi service, no failed mission skips and getting Ending C (The Third Way).
