GTA 5 Download on Android: Real or Fake?

Mobile gaming on Android platforms has come a long way as players can now enjoy console-level games from the comfort of their smartphones.

Handheld gaming devices were the rage in the mid-2000s with several big console manufacturers such as Sony and Nintendo developing portable consoles. Even today, consoles like the Nintendo Switch are extremely popular as both a regular console and a handheld device.

Today, handheld gaming exists in the form of Android and iOS devices. Games for Android devices, in particular, have progressed beyond the basic platformer and endless runner. Several games from the GTA franchise have made it onto the Android platform and are extremely popular among players. However, there are a few sites that claim to provide APKs for games like GTA V.
