Chapters of GTA for Android

As anticipated at the beginning, before explaining how to download GTA on Android it seems only right to explain which are the chapters of the saga that can be used on the mobile platform of the “green robot”. Unfortunately the most recent GTA V is not available (for the moment it remains a PC and console exclusive) but it is still possible to download some of the previous chapters of Grand Theft Auto and the spin-offs originally playable on portable consoles. So let’s see in detail which ones.

• Grand Theft Auto III– It costs 4.99 euros and is the transposition for Android smartphones and tablets of what was the first three-dimensional chapter of Grand Theft Auto originally launched in 2001.
• Grand Theft Auto: Vice City– Features an 80s setting and is one of the most acclaimed chapters in the entire saga. It was originally launched in 2002. Even then, the price of the game is € 4.99,
• Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas– Another exciting chapter of the game originally launched in 2004. It costs 6.99 euros.
• Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars– It is a chapter of GTA originally made available only for handheld consoles. The view is from above and the graphics are old school. It costs 4.99 euros.
• Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories– It costs 6.99 euros and is the prequel to GTA 3, is set three years earlier. It was originally launched in 2005 on consoles.

Most of the chapters of GTA for Android can also be downloaded outside the Play Store, by finding the relative APK file from alternative stores. But if you want a rabbit, if I were you I would stay well away from resources of this type so as not to run into viruses and various problems deriving from the installation of games from unsafe sources. Therefore, carefully avoid the so-called “black markets” of apps that I know, they can be tempting, but in addition to favoring the distribution of pirated material (which is a crime!) They make available to unsuspecting users applications that they can be very dangerous for your device. Then don’t tell me I didn’t warn you!

Steps to take before downloading GTA on Android

Now that you have clearer ideas about the various chapters of the famous game that can be downloaded on Android smartphones and tablets, let’s try to understand what operations it is good to do in a preliminary manner in order to proceed with the download as well as what you need to have to do so.

Let’s start from a fundamental premise: in order to download GTA on Android, as well as any other app, game or content from the Play Store, you must necessarily have a Google account  and you must have connected it to your device. If you don’t already have a Google account and / or if you haven’t already connected it to your smartphone or tablet, you can do everything right now, directly from Android. Now I’ll explain how, it’s very easy.

To begin with, access the Drawer (the screen of your smartphone or tablet in which all the apps are grouped), locate the Settings icon   (the gear- shaped one ) and press on it then tap on the General tab  or, if you can’t see it, scroll halfway through the screen that is shown to you and step on the +  Add account button   that you find in correspondence with the wording  Account .

Once this is done, select the Google logo  and  then step on the Existing button  , if you want to connect an existing Google account to the device, or on the New button  , to create a new account directly from Android. In the first case, simply provide the login data to your account by typing the e-mail address and associated password.

If, on the other hand, you have chosen to create a new account, you will have to fill in the form that is proposed to you by first typing your name and surname, then the username you want to use (which will also be the initial part of your Gmail e-mail address) and the password you you wish to use to access it. Then choose whether to indicate a secondary email address or a telephone number to use if you need to retrieve the access data of the Gmail account or if you want to go ahead.

To complete the whole procedure, ignore (if you want) the invitation to receive news on Google Play offers and tap the Accept button  . By doing so, your Gmail email address will automatically be associated with the smartphone or tablet you are using. If you think you need more details on what to do, you can also read my tutorial on  how to create a Google account  through which I proceeded to talk to you about it in even more detail.

Download GTA on Android

Once the Google account has been created and / or associated with your phone or tablet, you are finally ready to take the real action: download GTA on Android. To do this, access the Google  Play Store by  pressing on its icon  (that of the white bag with the “play” symbol printed above) that you find on the main screen of the device or in the menu with the icons of all the apps installed on the smartphone or tablet (the Drawer ), select the magnifying glass icon   located at the top right and search for gta .

When the search results appear, press the icon of the GTA chapter you want to download from those I indicated a few lines above. If you prefer, you can speed up the execution of these steps by tapping directly from your Android device on the reference links I provided you in the previous step.

Once you have viewed the game card on the Play Store, first press the button with the price  (eg € 4.99 ) and then the  Accept button  to download and install GTA on your Android smartphone or tablet. Once the procedure is complete, open the game by pressing the appropriate Open button visible on the screen or by going to the screen of your device where all the applications are grouped.

If after tapping on the button with the price you see a warning appear on the screen through which you are asked to set a payment method to buy the game, it is evidently because you had not already done so previously. Then select the desired option (you can pay with PayPal, by rechargeable or credit card, with telephone credit or with a gift card), enter the required data and confirm the thing.

If you cannot find the Play Store icon neither on the home screen nor on the screen with the applications installed on the terminal, it is most likely because you have an inexpensive phone or tablet that for purely bureaucratic reasons does not include the app store of big G. To solve this problem you can do the installation “by hand”. To find out how, I recommend you read my tutorial on  how to download Android applications .

• Block City Wars + skins export– Although the graphics are very reminiscent of Minecraft, in this game all about shootings and robberies in the city it is possible to enjoy, even if a little distant, the glories of GTA with the sandbox modes. The experience is not realistic at all, this is clear, but the gameplay is fun enough and also offers a good online multiplayer experience. It is free to download.
• San Andreas Straight 2 Compton– It’s pretty much the Grand Theft Auto clone: ​​San Andreas. Also in this title, a black young man comes out of prison and returns to his neighborhood where he prefers to rely on the underworld to survive. It should be noted that on a daily basis there are 5 different missions to be faced. However, it has numerous bugs that sometimes ruin the gaming experience but it is still worth trying. It is free to download.
