Grand Theft Auto: Vice City[]
Main article: Assets in GTA Vice City
Assets are first introduced in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. The player can buy other assets after completing the mission "Shakedown". After the purchase of an asset, the player can save their progress there (with the exception of Phil's Place, as it is not owned by the player). The asset will generate profit once all the missions for the related asset have been completed. Purchasing all the assets will cost $400,000 (in the mobile version, the cost of each asset is halved).

Main article: Assets in GTA Liberty City Stories
There are no purchasable properties in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, so all assets are acquired by completing missions for the business. The profits are usually in the form of protection money.
| Asset | Location | Profit |
|---|---|---|
| Punk Noodles | Chinatown, Portland | $2,000 |
| Joe's Pizza | Bedford Point, Staunton Island | $2,500 |

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories[]
Main article: Empire Building
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories expanded the idea of assets into building a business empire that will generate income from many types of businesses. After killing Marty Jay Williams, Vic can take over all of his empire buildings. Players can unlock more businesses by completing storyline missions or attacking other gang-owned buildings, including the Cholos, Vice City Bikers, and Sharks.
When the player completes an asset mission, it will unlock a special outfit which represents the asset, and its profit will be doubled. If the player completes all of the asset missions, the car unlocked with each asset will become bulletproof.
Unlike previous games, the player does not need to obtain the money from the asset site, as all profits are paid to the player directly.
Grand Theft Auto V[]
Main article: Properties in GTA V
In Grand Theft Auto V, each of the many businesses that are up for sale throughout Los Santos and Blaine County will generate a weekly profit. The owner may occasionally be contacted by the management for assistance in the running of the business. Failure to help may result in reduced weekly profits from that business.
