The new three-dimensional space coupled with the huge map consisting of three islands allowed the player a level of freedom scarcely found in other games. Several tasks are found in the world of GTA III, and all of the following need to be done for 100% completion of the game.
To ease your job of fully completing Grand Theft Auto III, we've created this full list of all the tasks required to achieve 100% completion in GTA 3. For each task, you can find out extra information by accessing the links to our GTA 3 Guides.

Warning: GTA III 100% Completion Glitches
Two potential glitches in GTA III could prevent you from achieving 100% Completion. When playing through the game, be careful about these issues:
- GTA III Purple Nines Glitch: After completing D-Ice's phone mission "Rumble", the Purple Nines gang members disappear from the city, which is intended. However, the issue is that their absence carries over when you start a new playthrough, which would stop you from achieving 100% completion on that new game file. If you need to start a new playthrough, make sure to first delete all of your saves - or alternatively, reload an existing save from the beginning of the game instead.
- GTA III 100% Achievement Glitch: Do not leave the phone mission "Kingdom Come" until last. If this is your final item for 100% completion, the trophy/achievement "Is That All You’ve Got?" will not pop despite having 100% completion in your stats. Make sure you leave something else as your last objective to complete.
GTA III 100% Completion Rewards
- Trophy/Achievement: "Is That All You've Got?" (The Definitive Edition)
