Speedrunning GTA San Andreas

Casually breaking new records

Joshimuz had what he considers a "meme run" with the remastered version of GTA San Andreas. He specifically played the one on Android phones. Joshimuz leads in the No Major Glitches category. As it stands, his current record is eight hours, 44 minutes, and one second.

Keep in mind that this is a casual run. By comparison, the world record for the regular category is around four hours. According to Speedrun.com, it's an underdeveloped category, and Joshimuz only recently performed his run.

It remains to be seen if others will follow in his footsteps. Should he play more seriously, there might be a concentrated effort into speedrunning the remastered versions. It's an interesting development to keep an eye out for.
