The Timeline of the Grand Theft Auto series is divided into three distinct universes, officially named by Rockstar North as the "2D Universe", "3D Universe" and the "HD Universe". Each universe is designed to be completely separate to each other so that no physically appearing characters or storylines would overlap.
“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, Toni and co, as mythical characters from a bygone era.”
—Interview with Dan Houser in The Guardian, about the second reboot of the series.
“The Grand Theft Auto III timeline is not necessarily over - but it is a different world to Grand Theft Auto IV - only the branding and certain radio personalities exist across both worlds. The reason for this was that we felt Grand Theft Auto IV was a high-definition experience and required different kinds of characters. That - and the fact that most people from the previous world are dead.”
Timeline can refer to:
- Timeline (2D Universe) - The timeline of the 2D Universe, where the events of the original Grand Theft Auto, its expansion packs, and Grand Theft Auto 2 take place.

- Timeline (HD Universe) - The timeline of the HD Universe, where the events of Grand Theft Auto IV, its episodes, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Grand Theft Auto V, Grand Theft Auto Online and Grand Theft Auto VI take place.
