Five years ago, Carl ‘CJ’ Johnson escaped the haze of Los Santos, San Andreas... a city tearing itself apart with gang trouble, drugs, and corruption. Now, it’s the early 90s. CJ’s got to go home. His mother has been murdered, his family has fallen apart, and his childhood friends are all heading towards disaster. On his return to the neighborhood, a couple of cops frame him for homicide. CJ is forced on a journey that takes him across the entire state of San Andreas, to save his family and to take control of the streets.

95/100

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition on mobile is a revelation, especially for those who remember the original touch-screen port from a decade ago. This version brings over the significantly improved lighting, high-resolution textures, and enhanced draw distances seen on consoles, making Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas feel more alive than ever. The neon lights of the Strip actually reflect off your car's hood now, and the dense foliage in the Badlands adds a layer of immersion that was simply missing before.

What truly makes this the 'Definitive' way to play on mobile, however, is the overhaul of the controls. Rockstar has implemented a GTA V-style weapon wheel and radio station selector, which feels infinitely more natural for a modern gamer. Aiming is much snappier, and the driving mechanics have been tuned to be less frustrating on a glass screen. Whether you are performing high-speed drive-bys or just riding a BMX through Grove Street, the game finally feels like it was built for the platform rather than just being squeezed onto it. It is a sprawling, 80-hour epic that still sets the gold standard for open-world games.

Dude, this game needs an update
Wed Oct 02 2024 mybkkj3

This game means an update because this game always crashes when I play and it annoys me and I do like this game, but you do need to fix the layout a little bit. Fix the crashing the game fix your bugs that have been glitching the game, please and thank you and if you did this, I’ll expect your opinion. Just please stop playing your game so you need an update please please please I’m not begging you Just please an update just we need one because I’ve been waiting five months for an update so just do it

Bad quality and seems like it’s unfocused.
Wed Dec 27 2023 DeadlyDaniel3401

I have the original gta and this new one seems to have better graphics than old one but I can’t get it to work. Even when I put on highest graphics it seems like nothing is in focus, I can see that the graphics and lighting is better but it’s all blurry. I have iPhone 11 Pro with latest update and I think it should handle it because I have games with much better graphics that play much more smoother than this.

Great so far but add cloud save 😩

The game runs great for me playing it on an Iphone 13 Pro Max, runs smooth no problem and ofc like everyone says it looks and is better than the console and pc version of the definitive edition, glad they worked on the fixes, the only thing I ask that would be cool is cloud save I also have the original mobile port installed and it has cloud save feature so i hope they add this feature to this one too! Great game 🔥💯

Great
Wed Oct 09 2024 SmooveQ50

Great game finished it within 2-3 days since I’ve already played it before in the past hope they make a continuation sequel of the game in the future I’d play it. Game does glitch and has it flaws but as long as you’re able to complete the game that’s all that really matters rockstar games has potential to make great games but they care more about money instead of making long term great quality games.

Don’t understand the hate.
Fri Oct 03 2025 Hvaleriano63

The game is amazing on mobile. It led to later updates on the console versions of the game. Runs smoothly even on an older iPhone 14 base model. Amazing game amazing story and it runs great ? Sure there could be a bug fix here and there but at its core it’s a solid way to play! 🎮

Waste of Money, Disappointing and Frustrating Experience
Sun Aug 11 2024 Rahimi96

I had high hopes for the GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment. The game is riddled with glitches that completely ruin the experience. Characters get stuck in walls, missions randomly fail, and sometimes the game just crashes without warning. To make matters worse, the auto-save feature is practically non-existent. I lost hours of progress because I forgot to manually save, which is unacceptable for a modern game. This edition feels rushed and unfinished—definitely not worth the price.

Great but still can be better

It great to play definitive edition on phone but every time I close the game and open again, resolution will turn back to default, I hope you can fix it. Also, please add cloud storage to save game progress, no matter iCloud or social club account.

Better than the Console Versions!
Sun Dec 17 2023 dontfeedtheivan

The mobile version is definitely better than the console version of the definitive editions. I do wish that it had the Rockstar Social Club so it syncs with my other devices. Hopefully the console versions gets this upgrade.
