Here’s how to play GTA V on mobile.
Is there a mobile port of GTA V?
A GTA V mobile port currently does not existbut it is possible that Rockstar Games will create a port in the future. Games like Death Stranding are having their time to shine on mobile hardware. However, for now, it doesn’t look like GTA V will be getting an official mobile port anytime soon as Rockstar Games is busy developing GTA 6.
Though, If you own GTA V on Steam, you can play GTA V using Steam Link to access it on your mobile device. You can watch the video and written instructions below to learn how to do it, courtesy of YouTuber “Android 9 Hacks.”
Is there a mobile APK of GTA V?
No, there is no official GTA V mobile APK because Rockstar Games has never released the game officially for iOS or Android devices. Although some websites may claim that there is an APK file that you can download to play GTA V on your mobile phone, it is highly likely that it is a malicious APK file that can compromise your phone. We recommend avoiding them at all costs and waiting for Rockstar Games to potentially release an official mobile version of the game.
Additionally, it is common for some gamers to exploit an emulator on an Android tablet to run operating systems such as Windows, but this may prove unstable and often illegal if the software and game have not been purchased. Again, we don’t recommend this.
Can I play GTA V on my phone?
The safest way to play GTA V on mobile devices is using Steam Link. This works on both Android and iOS devices, but requires a copy of GTA V on Steam to be installed on your computer. You’ll also need to download the official Steam Link app on your mobile device. Despite what some game sellers in shady corners of the Internet may claim, there is no official port of GTA V for mobile devices, so don’t be fooled, no matter how tempting the price may be.
The good news is that you don’t need one of the best gaming phones. In fact, most mid-range and higher-range mobile phones can run GTA V using this method without any technical problems. Remember that for the game to run smoothly on your phone, you need a brisk and stable internet connection with a low ping, otherwise you will have quite earnest lag problems.
Of course, before you buy a copy of GTA V on Steam, you should make sure your computer can handle it. Check GTA V System Requirements and check if your computer can run it PC gaming benchmark. Then, after purchasing and installing GTA V on Steam, you need to create a GTA profile and run the game on your computer.
