Can You Play GTA 5 Online on Android? Learn Here

Many websites claim to offer free GTA 5 Online APK downloads for Android, but these are fake.

Despite the game’s massive popularity, Rockstar Games has never released an official Android version of Grand Theft Auto 5 or its online multiplayer mode.

GTA 5 Online is currently only available on the following platforms:

• PlayStation 4
• PlayStation 5
• Xbox One
• Xbox Series X|S
• PC
• Steam Deck

You must pay to access GTA 5, which usually costs around $30, although discounts may occasionally lower the price. The only time GTA 5 was given away for free was in May 2020 through the Epic Games Store — and only for PC.

What About GTA Online on Android?

There is no native Android version of GTA 5 or GTA 5 Online. The only legitimate way to play GTA 5 on a mobile device is by streaming it from a PC or console using apps like:

• Steam Link
• PS Remote Play
• Xbox Remote Play

Even then, the game runs on your console or PC, not on the mobile device itself — the apps just mirror the screen.

Stay Safe Online

Any website claiming to offer a GTA 5 Android APK is likely a scam or may contain malware. Do not download from such sources. Rockstar Games has made no announcements regarding a mobile version of GTA 5, and it is unlikely to arrive anytime soon.
