Will GTA 5 Mobile ever be a reality? That's the eternal question, and one that Rockstar has largely encouraged with its insistence on bringing all Grand Theft Auto games to mobile at the start of the App Store. Well, aside from the first two games for some reason. We're still waiting for those, Rockstar, plus a port of Grand Theft Auto: London please!
But back to the question at hand. Rockstar has, so far, showcased Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City, San Andreas, Liberty City Stories and Chinatown Wars alongside Bully and Max Payne, so the major developer is no stranger to porting its classics. on mobile. However, releases have slowed lately, with Bully, the latest mobile port, arriving four years ago in 2016.
Rockstar has traditionally ported its games to mobile on their anniversary, so there's hope for a Grand Theft Auto V port. However, we're still probably three years away, if that happens, as it would mark the tenth anniversary. There's also another potential key in the works: Grand Theft Auto IV never received its anniversary port. But we are going to focus on the positives in this guide and provide a bunch of rumors and speculation on whether or not GTA 5 might go mobile.
GTA 5 mobile – everything we know so far:
Has Rockstar said anything about Grand Theft Auto V on mobile?
No, Rockstar hasn't announced an official port of Grand Theft Auto V to mobile, so it's probably not happening right now. We will update this section as soon as this changes.
Can I stream Grand Theft Auto v on mobile?
Yes, you can absolutely play Grand Theft Auto V on mobile right now by streaming it from your PC or, in some cases, your console. You must have a compatible PC or console, an Internet connection (in some cases your home network), and a copy of GTA 5 for that platform.
Here is a range of streaming options you can try:
Would Grand Theft Auto V work on mobile?
There is evidence to suggest that Grand Theft Auto V would work on some mobile devices. Apple has compared its latest iPad Pro devices as powerful as an Xbox One in terms of gaming performance. If so, it's possible that any of the current collection of Xbox One and PS4 games could go mobile under one form or another.
There's also the fact that Grand Theft Auto V originally launched on Xbox 360/PS3, and a number of games have moved from those platforms to mobile. These include XCOM, Minecraft, Limbo, The Last Remnant, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, and Fortnite. Granted, Grand Theft Auto V is a lot bigger and more graphical than this list, but the technology is there.
How much space would that take?
But there's a bigger question: would Grand Theft Auto V even adapt to your mobile device? Well, the answer is complicated, but it is possible. If we base our size estimates on the Xbox 360 version, it would take up around 16GB of space, which is significantly larger than even the biggest crop of mobile games, which maxes out at around 4GB.
Still, 16GB would be fine for many modern devices, and it may well be that Rockstar could squeeze that even further with some technical wizardry.
