For better or worse, diving into the world of GTA 5 from time to time is an unforgettable experience for fans of the action-adventure genre. From cultural landmarks to sideline activities, Rockstar Games has put a lot of effort into creating a realistic world based on impeccable attention to detail.
Players can feel such dedicated stuff in several in-game mechanics, such as NPC dialogues or the simulated day-night cycle. As far as we’re concerned, many players have wondered how long a day in the game actually is, let’s figure it out.
Time In GTA 5
Frankly speaking, players who take a liking to GTA 5’s stock market will understand the importance of the day-night cycle in the game, considering the time period they can trade stocks and plan to make any other investment. As the in-game stock market reflects the changes after one or two days, players can save a lot of time to check the market fluctuation in time without missing out on other missions.
According to some sources, a day in GTA 5 lasts for 48 real-life minutes, and the game clock will change differently for different characters when we save the game. For instance, when Trevor goes to bed to save the game, the game advances the clock for 12 hours. As for Franklin and Michael, they sleep for 8 hours and 6 hours, respectively.
GTA Online also has a persistent in-game time passage system. Two seconds in the real world equal one GTA 5 minute. Time can be checked from the Pause Menu or from a player's Cell Phone.
As such, players can make use of the life cycle in GTA 5 by playing as Trevor then saving the game, thus advancing an entire day in the world of GTA 5. When you are already on good terms with the time system, it’s time to get richer in the stock market and complete the game more quickly.
