• GTA V Android introduction

    GTA V is a game of the decade developed and published by RockStar Games.

    Grand Theft Auto games has always been a great success for RockStar, in fact these games put RockStar on the map and made it on of the biggest developer out there.

     

    Thanks to hard work, proper advertising and huge, vast open world with unlimited possibilities, GTA V become most popular GTA game ever on every platform and operating system and still continues to grow rapidly.

    Many hours of gaming, rich and limitless gameplay elements, finally good and high quality graphics, real world physics, multiple characters each with their own story and personalities... those are one of the few reasons why it's so popular and all wanted game.

     

    Grand Theft Auto V falls under an action filled adventure game category with RPG elements and rich storylines, plus detailed and really very big world with hundreds of vehicles and interesting places to visit.

     

    As the game is really very rich in all aspects and keeps premium quality and feel, it's really big in size and it was quite hard to optimize it for most devices available on the market. Rockstar Games took a lot time to finally release full working PC version that would work on most gaming laptops & computers without additional hardware and need for multiple processors.

     

    After they realized that GTA 5 was even more popular than they ever expected it was clear that investing in it and developing new modes was great idea. So RockStar really tried very hard and finally come up with online multiplayer mode for GTA with cross platform support for major gaming consoles and PC.

    Now it's time for mobile!

    With unbelievably fast growth of smartphones popularity and mobile gaming market now every developer tries to bring their game on Android and iOS so they can benefit from it.

    There are millions of smartphone users nowadays and it's increasing day by day, rapidly! So we can easily find Android games with over 100M downloads and some of most popular apps easily crossed one billion downloads - now that's really big, big number!

     

    Rockstar knows very well that mobile market is a goldmine way to go, it was even years ago but they never brought their top game for smartphones for one simple reason: they couldn't.

    Monstrous game such as GTA V requires enormous amount of power to run smoothly and few years back there was no a smartphone capable of such power. Well, that changed now...

  • How to download GTA V Android

    Thanks to modern technologies and innovative brands now we have smartphones with even 8Gb of Ram and some upcomings with 12Gb & 16Gb Ram, now that's not a joke any longer.

    Also, finally modern smartphone chips are equipped with special cooling system and powerful, fast and effective processor which can process billions of operations per second.

     

    Unfortunately for Apple fans, the above information goes only for Android devices, Apple's iPhones and iPads are still way behind Androids and it looks like they aren't gonna offer significant improvements in near future, even newest iPhone XR is not very powerful and may not be able to run very heavy games.

     

    Still, Android market is huge and it's RockStar's turn to go all in and perform with full power, as a result finally after years of waiting now here is GTA V Android edition with max features from Grand Theft Auto V origin. The Android edition is still in beta and doesn't include full features such as online multiplayer mode but major features are already available.

     

    As 68Gb is crazy and many modern premium smartphones hasn't so big internal storage RockStar Games needed to cut down the size as much as possible and optimize it for mobile.

    They successfully managed to reduce the size to only 4Gb(still biggest game for Android) and optimized controls for touch screen, still you can use wide range of Bluetooth gamepads to play GTA V on Android.

     

    It was also required to optimize performance maximally, RockStar still managed to optimize GTA even more and Android version of GTA V runs smoothly with premium and budget Android devices with min 3Gb of Ram and modern quad-core CPU, compatible with all major 4 types of GPUs including Nvidia's Tegra and Qualcomm's Adreno.

  • How to install

    Much like Epic bypassed Google Play and released Fortnite outside of it, similarly RockStar choose to publish GTA V for Android on a separate website instead of Google's Play Store, at least for beta version.

     

    Because of this, you need to install GTA V on Android manually, but installation is so easy that even beginners can easily do it under 2 minutes. If you have installed a game on Windows PC then it will be even more easier for you.

     

    All you have to do is get required files on your mobile and start the installation process, download apk and cache archive from the GTA 5 Android website and wait for them to fully complete.

    Now that you have all files downloaded simply decompress the archive, move the obb folder to Android->obb folder and begin installation of apk.
