Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and GTA V are different games. San Andreas has official mobile releases, but that does not establish an Android GTA V release. If a download page combines both names, verify the exact product before installing or paying.
Official San Andreas Android sources
Use Rockstar’s mobile download directory and the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas store listing. Check the publisher, exact edition, device compatibility and price or access conditions shown for your account and region.
Classic and Definitive labels need edition checks
Rockstar also has a San Andreas Definitive listing. Do not assume that different editions share the same purchase, requirements, save handling or updates. Check the listing you actually plan to use; this guide does not promise every device or account has access to every edition.
Before downloading
Compare the current listing’s requirements with your device and keep sufficient storage available. If you have existing saves, review the publisher’s recovery or transfer guidance before uninstalling another edition. A third-party APK or OBB filename does not verify that a file is the genuine supported app.
Avoid treating a version number, screenshot or “free premium” label as proof of publisher identity. This site does not offer a cracked San Andreas installer or certify an independently hosted package. Read our APK source and permission checklist for unfamiliar files.
Installation and launch problems
Record the exact edition, device, Android version and error. Separate app installation from downloading game assets or opening a saved game. Use Rockstar’s San Andreas support for product-specific issues and our Android installation guide for general package errors.
Frequently asked questions
Is San Andreas the same game as GTA V?
No. Verify the full title instead of relying on a page that combines their names.
Does an official San Andreas mobile app prove GTA V works natively on Android?
No. They have different releases and platform requirements. See our GTA V platform guide.
Can I assume all editions share my saves?
Check the relevant publisher guidance before changing editions; no transfer guarantee is established here.
Is a free game APK supplied here?
This guide links to official sources and does not distribute a cracked or certified third-party installer.
