GTA 5 mobile APK + OBB download links for Android: Should you trust them?

You might have come across GTA 5 mobile APK + OBB download links multiple times on the internet, which isn't surprising considering how popular the game is. Rockstar has rereleased this title on multiple consoles and platforms by now, but it hasn't made its way to any handheld devices yet. Rockstar Games doesn't seem to have any plans to release it on Android and iOS, or even the popular handheld console, the Nintendo Switch.

However, if you search for GTA 5 mobile APK + OBB download on the internet, you'll get numerous results, all claiming to have download links for the game's Android version. You should avoid clicking these links since Rockstar Games never released an official mobile version of Grand Theft Auto 5.

Beware of GTA 5 mobile APK + OBB download links for Android

Rockstar Games hasn't released or announced plans for an iOS or Android version of Grand Theft Auto 5. Hence, you must beware of any GTA 5 mobile APK and OBB download links on the internet.

They mostly appear as ads on various websites like Google as well as YouTube, and even feature official artwork as well as logos designed by Rockstar Games. However, they are 100% fake and can be a threat to your mobile device or platform.

On some occasions, downloading software from such links might install a fan-made version of Grand Theft Auto 5 on your device. Many of these games look very close to the original but are complete knockoffs.

These fake APK and OBB download links might also infect your Android devices with several viruses. They not only pose a threat to the phone's functioning but to all of your personal data stored in it as well. An official GTA 5 Android version doesn't exist yet, and therefore, you must not click on dubious links or ads on the internet to try to get it.

Those who want to experience something like Grand Theft Auto 5 on their Android device can play the official mobile versions of Grand Theft Auto 3, San Andreas, and Vice City. They are available on the Google Play Store but need to be purchased.

Alternatively, they can try other mobile games that are similar to GTA 5 and made by reputed developers, provided they are available on the Google Play Store.

Will Grand Theft Auto 5 ever release on Android?

2022's GTA 6 leaks suggested that most of Rockstar Games' development teams might be focused on the upcoming title. So, it's hard to tell whether the developer would want to invest resources into developing a 10-year-old game's mobile port.

GTA 5's visual effects, features, and gameplay mechanics just seem too difficult to implement on weaker systems such as Android devices. Oddly enough, the title's multiplayer is seemingly struggling to run even on the PS4 and Xbox One.

Rockstar has only released Grand Theft Auto 5 on the PS3, PS4, PS5, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC so far. Therefore, you will need one of these devices to play the game currently.

The support for Grand Theft Auto 5's multiplayer has ended on the PS3 and Xbox 360, so those wanting to experience that content will have to get a PS4, Xbox One, or their successor. Rockstar releases fresh content for the multiplayer regularly, and you can make a lot of money in it quickly via Grand Theft Auto Online glitches.
