It is always recommended that players download Rockstar titles from the official Play Store on Android devices and the App Store on Apple devices.

Unofficial downloads from other websites usually offer extra perks and unlocked characters/in-game cash, while also including malware and adware to track and spy on devices without the user's knowledge. No matter what perks unofficial downloads offer, sometimes even browsing the sites might harm the devices.
