  1. Police records on the Grand Theft Auto 2 website are dated between 13/07/2013 and 03/11/2013. This, along with the game's futuristic setting, indicates the game takes place during 2013. However, the game's manual uses the phrase "three weeks into the future," and the website's clock is always set three weeks ahead of the current time — this puts forward the notion that the game takes place in an unspecific time and place, fitting with the game's setting of "Anywhere, USA."

    In-game, radio host Johnny Riccaro mentions that "the millennium's coming" and also mentions the Y2K bug, which creates the possibility the game could also be set in 1999. The game also mentions the "Mitsubishi pills" as being a brand new drug, which are ecstasy pills that became popular in the late 1990s.
  2. The following timeline of events is based on the original DMA Design versions of Grand Theft Auto 2 (PC/PlayStation/Dreamcast), meaning that this list does not considers the multiple censorships and changes from the Tarantula Studios' Game Boy Color port of Grand Theft Auto 2, such as censored character names and the replacement of Claude Speed and the "Player Name" feature from the original versions with six predefined protagonists.
