How to play the game
Once GTA San Andreas is installed on the selected mobile device, the game icon can be found in the phone menu.
After clicking on it, a black screen with Rockstar Games welcome message can be seen. The title will ask players to sign in/sign up for the Social Club, which is a required step. However, they can click on the Offline button and dive into San Andreas.
A menu should appear with the selected option "Start Game." Players can also slide to the left and configure the game settings to their preferred levels.
Why download from Google Play Store?
Google Play Store's mobile version is officially from Rockstar Games and hence has the most verified and easiest installation. It also upholds legality and preserves the user's ethics.
One of the biggest disadvantages of downloading the game from a third-party source is that it can make the device susceptible to unwanted malware or worm files.
Coupled with that, the game isn't too expensive compared to its PC and console versions.
GTA San Andreas is a praiseworthy game, and its mobile-ported version should be applauded. Despite the lack of hardware resources on mobile devices, Rockstar Games has created an exceptional gaming experience for GTA players on smartphones.
