Downloading full GTA 5 APK for Android will harm device

Rockstar Games recently released several games from the Grand Theft Auto series on the mobile platform. However, no title from the HD era is available for Androids.

GTA 5 is available on the following platforms only:

• PlayStation 3
• Xbox 360
• PlayStation 4
• Xbox One
• Microsoft Windows

It is due for release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in 2021.

From above, it is evident that the game is not yet released for the Android platform, and the developers do not support any such APK files. Hence, similar files circulating on the internet are illegal and fake.

Some of these files also require the users to go through a human verification. On top of that, some of these APK and OBB files might contain virus(es) which can harm the device.
