Does gta v story mode have different save files?

Grand Theft Auto V's story mode operates with a single save file system rather than separate save files for each of the three protagonists. The game follows Michael De Santa, Franklin Clinton, and Trevor Philips through a shared narrative where player progress, completed missions, and world state are all stored in one unified save file. This means that when you save the game, it saves the overall progress of your playthrough rather than individual character-specific saves. The three protagonists are integrated into a single cohesive story where switching between characters is a gameplay mechanic within the same campaign, and all story progress feeds into one continuous save data structure managed by Rockstar North's implementation in their 2013 action-adventure game.
