In a conversation about the popular Grand Theft Auto series, the first name that pops up is GTA 5, the latest instalment of the franchise. Even though the game is close to seven years old, it is still very relevant and continues to sell on various platforms.
It is the first game that introduced the feature to play with three protagonists – Michael, Trevor and Franklin. Apart from the story mode, the game also features an online mode.
The growing popularity of these games has led Rockstar Games to port several games from the GTA series on to the mobile platform for players to play on the go and enjoy. The following titles have been made available for smartphones:
- GTA 3
- GTA: Chinatown Wars
- GTA: Liberty City Stories
- GTA Vice City
- GTA San Andreas

This has left many confused about whether this is possible or not. Hence, we examine these claims to determine whether they hold true or not.
