Ever since the release of GTA 5, it has witnessed a rise in popularity instead of a slump. Even though it has been almost seven years since its initial release, the game is still loved by the community due to its sublime storyline, a vast open-world, and a continuously evolving online mode.

GTA 5 is currently available on the following platforms, and scheduled to release on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in 2021:

  • PlayStation 3
  • Xbox 360
  • PlayStation 4
  • Xbox One
  • Microsoft Windows

The game is so popular that some players want to play it on their Android devices. However, it should be noted that Rockstar Games hasn't ported GTA V over to Android devices yet.

GTA V can, however, be played on Android devices using Steam Link, which emulates the screen from PC to Android.

There are specific prerequisites for playing the game on Android devices using Steam Link. You must have a PC/laptop capable of running GTA 5, an excellent internet connection, and a decent phone. Also, the device and PC must be on the same local network.

You should have the game in your Steam library too. If you purchased the game from another Store, you would have to add the executable file of the game to Steam.
