What Makes GTA: San Andreas – Definitive Stand Out
Five years ago, Carl ‘CJ’ Johnson escaped the haze of Los Santos, San Andreas…a city tearing itself apart with gang trouble, drugs, and corruption. Now, it's the early 90s. CJ’s got to go home – his mother has been murdered, his family has fallen apart, and his childhood friends are all heading towards disaster. On his return to the neighborhood, a couple of cops frame him for homicide, forcing CJ on a journey that takes him across the entire state of San Andreas, to save his family and to take control of the streets in the next iteration of the series that changed everything.

Community Insight:
Its good the missions are great same as the og but please make less space around 4-6 gb. But we love the game.
The game is amazing on mobile. It led to later updates on the console versions of the game. Runs smoothly even on an older iPhone 14 base model. Amazing game amazing story and it runs great ? Sure there could be a bug fix here and there but at its core its a solid way to play.
This kind of broken game is stuck and then flashed back, because we entered the cheat code to switch the screen back and forth and flashed back stuck, and when you re-enter the game, your weapon is gone, garbage game.
Dude im 10 years old and we love it it is so fun plus it lets our stress out.
Please be compatible with the Mac version of the M1 chip, thank you.
Can our gta San Andreas get a update.
The best game on mobile to be honest the game has big map graphic ps5 good missions the game is nostalgic Thank you rockstar for bringing us this masterpiece And thank you for this amazing version well optimized You cant compare this game to another game on the mobile.
When we try start beginning of game it keep kicking us out of game and it lags so pls fix it.
Great game finished it within 2-3 days since Ive already played it before in the past hope they make a continuation sequel of the game in the future Id play it. Game does glitch and has it flaws but as long as youre able to complete the game thats all that really matters rockstar games has potential to make great games but they care more about money instead of making long term great quality games.
The game runs great for us playing it on an Iphone 13 Pro Max, runs smooth no problem and ofc like everyone says it looks and is better than the console and pc version of the definitive edition, glad they worked on the fixes, the only thing we ask that would be cool is cloud save we also have the original mobile port installed and it has cloud save feature so we hope they add this feature to this one too! Great game.
This game means an update because this game always crashes when we play and it annoys us and we do like this game, but you do need to fix the layout a little bit. Fix the crashing the game fix your bugs that have been glitching the game, please and thank you and if you did this, Ill expect your opinion. Just please stop playing your game so you need an update please please please Im not begging you Just please an update just we need one because Ive been waiting five months for an update so just do it.
We're happy to play Definitive Edition on our phone, but there is no cloud saves… Please add this feature to avoid losing your game progress when changing your device.
Great game. This is the coolest game, of course we would like to watch GTA 4 / GTA 5 on a mobile platform, but this is just a dream and that's all. Dear developers, make a remaster of the game bully at least be people.
It runs better on our promax rather than on our switch.
The game had a little problem with crashing fix it now the other one had a lot of fast cars in the game with the bugs and stuff and then if you fix it with your developer rockstar will fix this. Can you please fix that cause its kind of annoying.
We need cloud saves! The original game had cloud saves, but this new game doesn't. Why is that?! Please add cloud saves; we urgently need it! We've already lost our game data three times because of this.
Please Help Rockstar Games Support, This App Of The Game Needs Like A New Upgrade Or Update Because This Game App Needs To Put In An Rockstar Social Club Account Please Thanks.
Cant imagine it doesnt it only supports 30Hz refresh.
Let us get a #9! , one of the best Rockstar Games Ever Made! Just now on mobile. We mean what more can we say, this is truly a classic and goes down in history of gaming as one of the best.
Need fixing bugs of this game its all good but random crashes to the app and would be good if you add rockstar cloud save please.
Please add cloud save like on 10th anniversary ones so can have the data on new devices transfer your progress.
A lot better than the original one for iOS cause it has cheats!! Our only complaint is the lack of cars on road.
This game is a fun game and well put together.The only problem is that it doesnt have cloud saving and with a game this long it definitely should have cloud saving and it desperately needs it.
This game is very good, but why lock 30 frames.
Hello author, we hope you can add cloud archiving functionality like the original version to prevent data loss.
Please update all three GTA Definitive Edition games with the addition of support for cloud saves! Absolutely crazy that we paid $19.99 for each game with no option to enable cloud saves yet Netflix subscribers get the peace of mind of having cloud saves for no additional cost to their subscription.
This game use to look great idk why but with all the updates the cars and everything within 25 feet or so look very distorted..its not till you get right up to everything when it looks normal. It looked fine when this game first came out. Sometimes updates causes even. More bugs to show.
Well this game needs a lot of fix bugs we would be very grateful if yall fixed the game and make it playable because this game its not playable every time we played when we see the map the game kicks us automatically so Im sick of this please try to fix it as much as you can and thank u.
Please add cloud save so we can transfer progress to different iOS devices.
We would like a refund its a great game in all but our phone isnt really that compatible with the high quality.
Dear Developers, The game is amazing, but the iOS version is missing some key features. While the Android version supports Ultra Graphics and High Graphics settings, the iOS version does not. This is disappointing for iOS users who want the same premium experience. Please add Ultra Graphics support to the iOS version in the next update. It will enhance the overall gameplay experience and bring equality across platforms. Thank you.
The game is a great game however it has it moments where it would glitch so much so that you cant proceed in the game.
Very blurry and laggy on iphone 17 air.
Not recommended. There are so many Bugs that we're tired of them. Bug.
Over the past couple days ive been playing this game, it has only crashed once or twice, now its crashing at the startup screen. Please fix your game rockstar.
Pretty sorry to not include at least between apple devices, like what the.
We have a iPhone SE (3rd generation) and Ive been trying all day to download this it downloaded and we opened it and we started the downloading process and it took forever to get to 100 it would go to 100 then back down to 88 percent or 96 percent and just keep going back down then go back down to 0 and its been happening all day Im gonna do what we can Ive been playing the original gta San Andreas for years.
Its great too see one of your girlfriends drive She doesnt complain about you hitting them hills hard or speed. Without slow down.the game is much clearer than the original sound is much louder too.
The gameplay feels smooth, graphics look great & havent ran into any bugs. Best experience so far.
We play the game on ipad m2 pro 11inch and iphone 12 promax and its perfect the (classic graphics) brings back a lot of nostalgia, but please make a bundle for DE games.
Love it, cant believe this is on a phone.
Hello, Rockstar Company, thank you for these beautiful and improved parts, but we aspire to develop. We want GTA IV or Redd Redemption 1. There are devices with powerful processors such as the iPhone 15 Pro and iPad Pro M2. Please look into our case, as there are many who use mobile phones to play.
Everything is good. Amazing 5 stars. But it would be cool to have multiplayer and play with others on this. Wouldnt that be so cool.
It is the best game we have ever played, but please bring Rockstar Social Club for importing saved games from it, like its classic version.
This is the best version released on mobile!! Classic controls & cheat codes work!!! Thanks rockstar.
It great to play definitive edition on phone but every time we close the game and open again, resolution will turn back to default, we hope you can fix it. Also, please add cloud storage to save game progress, no matter iCloud or social club account.
