5 best Android games like GTA 5 available on low-end Android smartphones in 2021

Since the release of GTA 5 eight years ago, the game has gone on to become one of the best selling entertainment products ever.

Over the years, GTA 5 has been updated, modified and remastered for different platforms like PC and new-gen consoles and has still maintained huge playerbases on all these platforms.

Sadly, the game will not be ported to Android devices as Android devices are not fit to handle games of such massive scale. Although GTA 5 is not available on Android devices, there are a lot of games available on Android that are similar to GTA 5.

They are not "GTA 5 clones" instead they are games which have taken a lot of inspiration from the Grand Theft Auto series as a whole.

Here is a list of games similar to GTA 5 that can run on low-end Android devices.
